Aloy Ejimakor, the Special Counsel to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has threatened to sue the Department of State Services (DSS) over failure to comply with a court ruling ordering Nnamdi Kanu’s release.
He warned that failure to release Kanu would trigger prompt judicial measures against the DSS.
Ejimakor said he had served the DSS a final administrative demand for Kanu’s release.

“Yesterday (Monday), I served on the DSS a final ‘administrative’ demand to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in line with the 26th October Judgment of the Federal High Court (Umuahia).
“Failure to comply will trigger prompt ‘judicial’ measures to enforce compliance,” Ejimakor tweeted on Tuesday.
Kanu had been locked up by the DSS since he was arrested in June 2021 in Kenya and subjected to extraordinary rendition.
He was picked following his agitation for the actualisation of Biafra.
Following his arrest and arraignment, the Court of Appeal in Abuja granted Kanu bail, but the Nigerian government refused to release him.
A Federal High Court in Umuahia, Abia State, also declared the IPOB leader’s rearrest in Kenya “unconstitutional and illegal”.
