#Law #Biafra #Ejimakor #Kanu #Nnamdi #Onanuga #Sowore #Uwoghiren ©October 21st, 2025 ®October 21, 2025 8:51 pm Human Rights lawyer, Barrister Jefferson Uwoghiren has condemned and berated the Federal Government of Nigeria under the Presidency of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for arresting, detaining and remanding to Kuje Prison, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, the lawyer to the detained Biafra Republic agitation leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu after Aloy Ejimakor was seen joining the Free Nnamdi Kanu protest in Abuja on Monday, according to the Human rights lawyer who have remarkable experience in fighting against police extra judicial killing; "One notable exception, is that a lawyer enjoys less freedom than others to speak publicly about his or her own cases, but not when it involves solidarity marches and protests for his client, the conducts of lawyers and the limit of their professional duties is the kennel of the alarming accusation by the Presidency yesterday against the lawyer of Mr Nnamdi Kanu and his subsequent arrest by the police for his presence at a scene in Abuja, where protesters were marching peacefully demanding the release of Mr Kanu; the statement from the Presidency and the police action is obviously a culmination of undisguised hostility towards the lawyer for having the temerity to represent a person the government have since prosecuted and convicted in the court of public opinions, ordinarily, a lawyer's bail application for alleged crime of illegal protest, won't be refused, the refusal is concerning and turning a simple matter into a political case of vendetta and persecution", Bayo Onanuga; the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy had on Monday tweeted while the FreeNnamdiKanu protest was ongoing, that; "I spotted Aloy Ejimakor, one of Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyers, among the small group of protesters mobilised in Abuja by Omoyele Sowore, I wonder what Mr Ejimakor was thinking when he decided to join this shambolic protest, as a lawyer, he should be aware of the principle of sub judice, particularly in relation to the ongoing treason case before the court, the prosecution has concluded its case, and it is now incumbent upon Mr Ejimakor and the other lawyers to mount a strong defence for Kanu, rather than focusing on preparing a strong case, Mr Ejimakor has resorted to extra-legal tactics, joining a career anarchist, to influence the process", meanwhile, few hours ago, the organiser of the protest and the founder of SaharaReporters news media, Omoyele Sowore stated via his social media accounts that; "We have been informed that plans are allegedly in place at Kuje prison to harm Nnamdi Kanu’s younger brother, Fineboy and Aloy Ejimakor, his Special Counsel, inside Kuje prison by special warders assigned by the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu". #OsazuwaAkonedo
