Aloy Ejimakor, lawyer to leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB<\/a>, Nnamdi Kanu<\/a>, has denied that the agitator instructed his members to attack President Muhammadu Buhari<\/a>, South-East governors and other Igbo leaders in foreign countries.<\/p>\n

Ejimakor, according to The Nation, stated that what Kanu said was that government officials and Igbo leaders should be ready to answer tough questions from Nigerians abroad.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat Kanu had said, and it\u2019s verifiable, is that Nigerian elected officials, especially those from the Southeast, (including governors), who derelict and still derelict their duties to the people and prefer to junket and gallivant abroad should be \u2018prepared to answer tough questions from the Nigerian\/Southeast Diaspora\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn plain terms, the so-called threat is not of violence or battery but of gutsy demonstrations or protests, of tough questions or heckling, of getting really close to the target.<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore, Kanu never threatened or sanctioned any threat of actual physical violence, assault or battery, or anything that is illegal or criminal. And he had also stated that you don\u2019t have to be afraid if you have done nothing wrong.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Nigerians, particularly Igbos need to see the Ekweremadu incident in Germany from the prism of German law, which, as we now know, is unarguably permissive of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey include particularly the following: (a) Immediate and unconditional de-proscription of IPOB and delisting it as a terrorist organisation. (b) A truth and reconciliation commission on the Python Dance lethal military operations of September 2017. (c) A public apology for the extrajudicial killings of IPOB members and desecration of the palace of an Igbo traditional ruler at Afaraukwu, Abia State. (d) A genuine dialogue with IPOB on its demands for a referendum on the restoration of Biafra. (e) Discontinuance of the ongoing prosecution of IPOB members and forbearance of any future arrests and prosecutions. Is this asking for too much?.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
