Aloy Ejimakor, the Special Counsel representing Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), made a claim on Monday suggesting that President Bola Tinubu is responsible for the continued detention of the Biafra agitator, rather than the judiciary.
Referring to Section 174 of the constitution, Ejimakor asserted that Tinubu possesses the authority to instruct the Attorney General of the Federation to halt Kanu’s trial, emphasizing that the ultimate decision rests with Tinubu.
Posting on X, Ejimakor wrote: “It’s the President, not the Court, that is holding #MNK. Sec. 174 of the Constitution says that ‘the Attorney General can stop any criminal trial initiated by him’ against anybody.
“Tinubu can direct the AGF to stop the trial of MNK. @officialABAT, the buck stops at your table.”
Ejimakor also faulted the claims of one Nigeria, alleging that Igbos are being punished for voting for the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi.
“Where’s the #OneNigeria when Ndigbo are being punished for voting @PeterObi.
“They forget that Ndigbo also voted for Shagari, OBJ, Yar’Adua, GEJ & Atiku & Yoruba voted for Obasanjo, Ijaw voted for GEJ & Hausa-Fulani voted for Shagari, Yar’Adua & Atiku. #FreeMNK to prove me wrong,” he added.
