In a chat with Newsmen, Ejimakor said: “Today, I will lead a team of lawyers to the Court of Appeal, Abuja to make a case for #MNK to be joined as a named party in the appeal against the proscription of IPOB.
“I will also be in tag-team with SAN Machukwu-Ume who is leading in the mother case against the proscription.”

In an effort to put an end to the Biafra agitation, the Federal High Court in Abuja designated IPOB as a terrorist organization in 2017.
