THE leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra ( IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu has ordered his lawyers to institute a legal action against anybody who refers to the 1966 coup as Igbo coup. Kanu described the coup as unnecessary, stressing that only two Igbos were involved.
The IPOB lawyer disclosed this during his routine meeting with his legal team led by Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor at the facility of the Department of State Services (DSS) in Abuja.
Disclosing this via his X handle, Ejimakor said such unjustifiable hatred was the reason why Kanu remained in detention.
He wrote: “At today’s visitation with #MNK, he instructed us as his team of lawyers to take vigorous legal action against any person or entity that henceforth refers to the unnecessary 1966 coup as an Igbo coup.
“Such unfounded and unjustifiable hatred is why Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is in detention without trial. Being the quintessential leader that he is, he doesn’t want any Igbo person to go through what he has experienced at the hands of the judiciary in Nigeria.”
