Special Counsel to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, Aloy Ejimakor, has reacted to the United States President, Donald Trump’s designation of Nigeria as a ‘country of particular concern’ following reports of alleged Christian genocide in the country.

Naijaonpoint reports that Trump, in a post on his Truth Social platform on Friday, claimed that “radical Islamists” were responsible for widespread killings of Christians across Nigeria.

He subsequently designated Nigeria as a “country of particular concern,” saying the United States “cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening.”

In a post via his X handle, Ejimakor said designating Nigeria as CPC was inevitable because the government allegedly teargassed peaceful protesters but romanced terrorists publicly.

He wrote, “The aftermaths of taking 2 direct teargas hits for expressing my legal right to peaceable assembly.

“When a nation tear-gasses peaceful protesters but romances terrorists in full glare of the public, being slammed as a Country of Particular Concern becomes inevitable. #FreeMNK.”

Recall that Ejimakor and a few others were recently arrested by the police in Abuja over the free Nnamdi Kanu protest.

The protest convened by activist politician, Omoyele Sowore, was meant to be staged at the presidential Villa, where protesters will demand Kanu’s release from President Bola Tinubu.

Following their arrest, Ejimakor, Kanu’s brother, Prince Emmanuel, Sowore and others were arraigned before a Kuje Magistrate Court and remanded in prison.

In the process of moving them, Ejimakor and the other protesters were said to have been punished with teargas shot at them.

While in remand, Ejimakor collapsed but was promptly attended to by the medical team in Kuje prison.
