Aloy Ejimakor, Special Counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has reacted as President Donald Trump of the United States, US, designates Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern, CPC.
Ejimakor said designating Nigeria as CPC was inevitable because the government allegedly teargassed peaceful protesters but romanced terrorists publicly.
He disclosed this while posting a video of himself receiving oxygen on his X page.
According to Ejimakor: “The aftermaths of taking 2 direct teargas hits for expressing my legal right to peaceable assembly.
“When a nation tear-gasses peaceful protesters but romances terrorists in full glare of the public, being slammed as a Country of Particular Concern becomes inevitable. #FreeMNK.”
Last month, Ejimakor and some few others were arrested by the police in Abuja over the free Nnamdi Kanu protest.
The protest convened by activist politician, Omoyele Sowore was meant to be staged at the presidential Villa where protesters will demand Kanu’s release from President Bola Tinubu.
Following their arrest, Ejimakor, Kanu’s brother, Prince Emmanuel, Sowore and others were arraigned before a Kuje Magistrate Court who initially demanded them before they were finally granted bail.
In the process of moving them, Ejimakor and the other protesters were said to have been punished with teargas shot at them.
While in remand, Ejimakor collapsed but was promptly attended to by medical team in Kuje prison.
