Aloy Ejimakor, Special Counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has made serious allegations, asserting that Bola Tinubu is the force preventing the release of the Biafra agitator, rather than any judicial influence.
Citing Section 174 of the constitution, Ejimakor argued that Tinubu, has the authority to instruct the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) to halt Kanu’s trial.
According to Ejimakor, the power to intervene in any criminal trial lies with Tinubu, emphasizing that “the buck stops” at Tinubu’s table.
Taking to social media platform X, Ejimakor expressed his stance, stating, “It’s Tinubu, not the Court, that is holding #MNK. Sec. 174 of the Constitution says that ‘the Attorney General can stop any criminal trial initiated by him’ against anybody.
“Tinubu can direct the AGF to stop the trial of MNK. @officialABAT, the buck stops at your table.”

Furthermore, Ejimakor contested the notion of a united Nigeria, suggesting that the Igbo community is facing repercussions for voting in favor of the Labour Party’s Peter Obi.
“Where’s the #OneNigeria when Ndigbo are being punished for voting @PeterObi.
The lawyer concluded his remarks with a call for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, challenging authorities to prove him wrong by ensuring Kanu’s freedom.
“They forget that Ndigbo also voted for Shagari, OBJ, Yar’Adua, GEJ & Atiku & Yoruba voted for Obasanjo, Ijaw voted for GEJ & Hausa-Fulani voted for Shagari, Yar’Adua & Atiku. #FreeMNK to prove me wrong,” he articulated.
