A magistrate court sitting in Kuje, FCT Abuja, has remanded the brother of Nnamdi Kanu, Prince Emmanuel Kanu and his lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, in Kuje prison.
The remand followed their participation in the #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest on Monday in Abuja.
Nnamdi Kanu’s younger brother, Kanuta Kanu, disclosed this in a post on X, shortly after the court session on Tuesday.
“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, legislature and judiciary to frustrate Kanu’s trial on Thursday,” Kanuta Kanu posted on X.
According to report, the Nigeria Police arraigned Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor and his brother Prince Emmanuel Kanu and 10 others following the protest in Abuja on Monday.
The court document to this effect was shared by former National Chairman of the Human Rights Commission of Nigeria, HRCN, Prof Chidi Odinkalu, via X on Tuesday.
The police charged them for inciting disturbance and breach of public peace in disobedience to a court order.
