Aloy Ejimakor, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s Lawyer, has disclosed that he would remain in custody till Friday, October 24, 2024, when his request for bail will be heard.
Ejimakor was arrested in Abuja on Monday, October 20, 2025, during the peaceful protest for the release of the Leader of the Indigenous Peoples Of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.
The protest tagged #FreeNnamdiKanuNow was spearheaded by Journalist, Activist and Politician, Omoyele Sowore.
The Police arraigned him before an Abuja Magistrate Court on Tuesday along with Kanu’s younger brother, Emmanuel, and 10 others.
They were charged for, among others, public disturbance.
According to Ejimakor in a post on his X page on Tuesday, the Magistrate refused to listen to anything and insisted they be remanded in Kuje Prisons till Friday when the request for bail will be heard.
Ejimakor posted: “I am safe and sound but still under custody at Kuje prison. The Magistrate refused to listen to our submissions. He insisted on remanding us till Friday and got his way.”
He hinted that they were deliberately charged before a particular Court where their prosecutors will have their way.
He wrote: “For context: Keep in mind that they bypassed several Magistrate Courts in town and headed to this one in Kuje.”
One of Nnamdi Kanu’s younger brothers who broke the story of their remand, wrote: “The magistrate seating 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 and judiciary to frustrate Kanu’s trial on Thursday.”
Nnamdi Kanu has been in the custody of the Government since June 2021 when he was forced back from Nairobi Kenya.
He has since then, been undergoing prosecution, for among other things, treasonable felony, at the Federal High Court, Abuja.
