Aloy Ejimakor, Lead Counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Sunday explained why he believes the Biafra agitator can't get a fair trial. Ejimakor explained with Kanu can't get a fair trial while he is detained by the Department of State Services, DSS. He noted that a defendant can't get fair trial if there is no equality of arms between him and the prosecutor.
He was first arrested in 2015, in Lagos, shortly after he entered Nigeria on a visit and was later arraigned in 2016, alongside four others on offences bordering on treason. However, the trial judge, Justice Binta Nyako, of the Abuja Federal High Court in 2017, admitted him to bail in the sum of N100 million and three sureties in like sum on health grounds to enable him prepare adequately for his trial.
