Ejiofor made this allegation on Wednesday during the Morning Show programme on Arise Television.
He alleged that there was connivance with the British government.
According to him: “I can confirm to you that the British High Commission is not doing much about this case. I can confirm to you that there is every likelihood of connivance in what happened to my client.
“Because sometime in 2015 when my client was arrested, I know how they were keeping constant communication with him and visiting him regularly, both when he was in military detention and when he was in DSS custody and he was transferred to the prison.
“As at the time he was arrested, he was arrested as a British national because he had renounced his Nigerian citizenship over five years ago. And they are still talking about offering him consular services,” he said.
IPOB is a Biafran separatist and Igbo nationalist organization in Nigeria. The group says it wants to restore an independent state of Biafra in the South East of Nigeria through an independence referendum. IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu is a Nigerian-British citizen.
