Special Counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, has again called on President Bola Tinubu to prove that Nigeria is not a lawless country.

Ejimakor said the President should prove this by freeing the detained IPOB leader.

Kanu's lawyer made this known Wednesday in a post on his X platform.

Ejimakor said it is only a lawless nation that detains a man whom the court of law declares his rendition and detentions illegal.

"It's only a lawless nation that would persist in detaining a man whose rendition & detention have been municipally & internationally declared ILLEGAL, even with compensation & apology awarded," he wrote.

"@officialABAT should #FreeMNK to prove that Nigeria is not a lawless nation," Ejimakor added.

This was the umpteenth time the legal practitioner would be calling on Tinubu to grant Kanu freedom.
