IPOB Lawyer Reveals Why Jonathan Never Arrested Nnamdi Kanu

IPOB lawyer, Aloy Ejomakor has revealed why Nnamdi Kanu was not arrested by the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

He explained that Jonathan did not arrest Kanu because he did not see self-determination as a crime.

Speaking at the ‘Free Nnamdi Kanu’ conference in Washington DC today, Ejimakor said: “The right to self-determination is a right that is allowed internationally, domestically, and continentally.

“The formation of IPOB did not break any law of the United Kingdom or that of Nigeria.

“Nnamdi Kanu was not arrested between 2012 and 2015 because the government then understood that self-determination was not a crime.

“But the government that came into power in May 2015 decided to treat self-determination as a criminal activity.

“So, he was arrested in Lagos and charged for treason, illegal importation, and insulting the president.”
