Special Counsel to the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, Mr. Aloy Ejimakor, reportedly collapsed while in Kuje Correctional Centre, Abuja.
Following the incident, Ejimakor was said to have been taken to the Kuje Medical Centre, where he is currently receiving medical attention.
One of Kanu’s lawyers, Maxwell Opara, confirmed the development in an interview with DAILY POST on Saturday.
When asked to verify the report, Opara said: “Yes, I went to see him and he was admitted at Kuje medical centre where they are treating him and I left about some few hours ago.
“The thing happened before I came and we arrived there around 12 and I started hearing the news.
“As one of his lawyers and colleagues, I insisted on seeing him and they took me to see him. I saw Sowore and others before they took me to go and see him.”
The incident occurred barely 24 hours after Magistrate Abubakar Umar Sai’id of the Kuje Magistrate Court declined to sign the bail bond for Ejimakor’s release.
Ejimakor was arrested on Monday alongside 12 others, including Nnamdi Kanu’s younger brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, during a protest in Abuja calling for the IPOB leader’s freedom.
They were later arraigned before the Kuje Magistrate Court by the Nigeria Police Force.
