Special Counsel to the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, Mr. Aloy Ejimakor, has collapsed at the Kuje Correctional Centre in Abuja.
It was learnt that Ejimakor was immediately rushed to the Kuje Medical Centre, where he is currently receiving treatment.
One of Kanu’s lawyers, Maxwell Opara, confirmed the development to DAILY POST on Saturday.
Opara said: “Yes, I went to see him and he was admitted at Kuje medical centre where they are treating him and I left about some few hours ago.
“The thing happened before I came and we arrived there around 12 and I started hearing the news.
“As one of his lawyers and colleagues, I insisted on seeing him and they took me to see him. I saw Sowore and others before they took me to go and see him.”
The incident occurred barely 24 hours after the presiding judge of the Kuje Magistrate Court, Abubakar Umar Sai’id, declined to sign the bail bond for Ejimakor’s release.
Ejimakor was arrested on Monday alongside 12 others, including Kanu’s younger brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, during a “Free Nnamdi Kanu” protest in Abuja.
They were later arraigned before the Kuje Magistrate Court by the Nigeria Police Force.
