Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The lead counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Aloy Ejimakor, has debunked rumours of the Biafra agitator\u2019s release.<\/p>\n

Ejimakor described the rumours of Kanu\u2019s release as fake news.<\/p>\n

Posting on X, the lead counsel said there won\u2019t be any need for confirmation when Kanu is released.<\/p>\n

He wrote: \u201cFake News Alert: The general public is hereby advised to disregard the viral rumor that MAZI NNAMDI KANU has been released.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pure #FakeNews. The day #MNK (the #BigElephant & leader of millions) is freed, the earth itself will announce it and it won\u2019t require any confirmation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kanu has been detained since he was rearrested and subjected to extraordinary rendition from Kenya to Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Upon return to Nigeria, courts had granted the IPOB leader bail but the Nigerian government has refused to release him.<\/p>\n

While Kanu languished in detention at the Department of State Services, DSS, the secret police had blocked all attempts by his legal team to have access to him.<\/p>\n
