Stay Focused; We Have Many Unfinished Tasks – Nnamdi Kanu Tells Lawyers, Supporters

Stay Focused; We Have Many Unfinished Tasks – Nnamdi Kanu Tells Lawyers, Supporters
October 9, 2023

Kanu gave the charge on Monday when one of his lawyers, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, visited him in detention in Abuja.

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has charged his supporters on the actualisation of Biafra Nation agitation to stay focused on their numerous unfinished tasks as their journey is not over yet.

Kanu, who has been detention in the custody of the Department of State Service since June 2021 after former President Muhammadu Buhari-led Nigerian government arrested him in Kenya and returned to Nigeria over treasonable felony charges, gave the charge on Monday when one of his lawyers, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, visited him in detention in Abuja.

The Supreme Court last Thursday fixed December 15 to deliver its judgment on Kanu’s appeal that seeks to compel the federal government to release him from detention as ordered by the Appeal Court in its October 13, 2022 judgment.

Recall that the appellate court had in its judgment discharged and acquitted the IPOB leader of all the charges preferred against him by the Nigerian government, and ordered immediate and unconditional release of Kanu.

Giving an update on his visit to Kanu, Ejimakor on Monday said, “I just exited from visitation with Nnamdi Kanu. I briefed him on our last outing at the Supreme Court, led by the new Lead Counsel, Kanu Agabi, SAN. 

“He directed that the Legal Team and our people must stay focused on the many unfinished tasks at hand and that it’s not yet Uhuru.”

Ejimakor further noted that much work still remained to be done as far as Kanu’s case is concerned, saying that “It is also an expose of the slew of cases we still have pending on his matter. And that his continuous detention means that his case is not yet over. It’s an unfinished business.”
