Aloy Ejimakor, special counsel and consultant to Nnamdi Kanu, has shared an update on the condition of the detained IPOB leader, who is currently being held at the Sokoto Custodial Centre.
Ejimakor likened Kanu’s experience in detention to Nelson Mandela’s years on Robben Island, describing him as resilient despite the circumstances.
In a post on X after a visit to Kanu, the lawyer wrote: “I just exited from meeting Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in #SokotoPrison. He remains indomitable and expressed his profound gratitude to all who have stood by him. Like Nelson Mandela endured ‘Robben Island’ and triumphed, #MNK is enduring Sokoto with resilience and strength.”
Ejimakor had earlier visited the separatist leader alongside Kanu’s wife, Uchechi, and his brother, Prince.
Kanu was transferred to the Sokoto prison following a ruling by Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja, which convicted him on terrorism-related charges and sentenced him to life imprisonment.
