A group is known as Igbo Lawyers Association, ILA has mobilized lawyers across the world to mount a defense for IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, whose case comes up in court on July 26th.
Kanu, who jumped bail in 2017 was re-arrested in June 2021 and arraigned in court where he was remanded in DSS custody until July 26th. Anaedoonline.ng recalls that Kanu was captured in Kenya and brought back to Nigeria under shady circumstances.
