Nnamdi Kanu’s Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor Collapses In Kuje Prison

Aloy Ejimakor, special counsel to the detained IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu, has reportedly fallen ill at Kuje Prison in Abuja, just 24 hours after Senior Magistrate Abubakar Umar Sai’id declined to sign the bail bond for his release.

According to SaharaReporters, it was learrnt that Ejimakor was unable to meet with his counsel, Barrister Maxwell Opara, during the routine visit to the facility.

Ejimakor, when he woke from his situation, narrated that he could not sit straight or stand as nurses at the Kuje prison are attending to him.

SaharaReporters understands that he may be transferred to the hospital.

Ejimakor was arrested on Monday with 12 others including Nnamdi Kanu’s younger brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, by the Nigerian police during the #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest.

They were thereafter teargassed, beaten and then transferred to the CID unit of State Police Command before being detained overnight at the notorious SARS cell known as Abattoir.

On the following day, they were driven by the police all the way to the Kuje Magistrate without their lawyer and summarily remanded by the Senior Magistrate, Abubakar Umar Sai’id, who reportedly had a deal with the police to keep them incarcerated.

Also on Friday, human rights activist and two times presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, was arraigned with Ejimakor and others.

The same Magistrate granted bail and then disappeared without signing off on their bail bond.

Ejimakor is said to be at the clinic being attended to at the Kuje Correctional center by some nurses, where his condition is said to be deteriorating fast.
