A Magistrate Court in Kuje, Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, has remanded Prince Emmanuel Kanu, the brother of detained IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu, and his lawyer, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, at the Kuje Correctional Centre.
Their remand follows their participation in the #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest held on Monday in Abuja.
Nnamdi Kanu’s younger brother, Kanuta Kanu, revealed the development in a post on X (formerly Twitter) shortly after the court session on Tuesday.
He wrote: “The magistrate sitting in Kuje remanded Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, the lead counsel in Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s case, and Prince Emmanuel Kanu, his youngest brother. This is a conspiracy from the executive, legislature, and judiciary to frustrate Kanu’s trial on Thursday.”
A court document confirming the ruling was also shared on X by Prof. Chidi Odinkalu, former Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC).
According to the police charge sheet, the duo were accused of inciting disturbance and breach of public peace in disobedience to a court order.
