A Magistrate’s court in Kuje, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has remanded Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, his youngest brother, Prince Emeka Kalu, and ten other individuals in Kuje Prison.
They were charged with inciting disturbance and breach of public peace in connection with the #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest held in Abuja on Monday.
The protest, which resulted in police arrests, was led by former Presidential Candidate and Publisher, Omoyele Sowore, to demand the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), who is currently facing terrorism charges.

Kanuta Kanu, another younger brother of Nnamdi Kanu, reacted to the decision in an X post on Tuesday, alleging a coordinated effort by government branches to hinder the legal process.
He wrote, “The magistrate sitting in Kuje remanded Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, the lead counsel in Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s case and Prince Emmanuel Kanu, his youngest brother. This is a conspiracy from the executive, legislature and judiciary to frustrate Kanu’s trial on Thursday.”
On his part, Omoyele Sowore blamed the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, for the detention, writing on Facebook, “I just learned that illegal IGP Kayode Egbetokun has sent Nnamdi Kanu’s brother and lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, and 11 others all the way to Kuje Magistrate Court to get them remanded in prison at all costs.”
