Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, or IPOB, has instructed his attorneys to file a lawsuit against anyone who calls the 1966 coup an Igbo coup.
Kanu emphasised that only two Igbos were participating in the coup and called it needless.
This was revealed by the IPOB lawyer at his regular meeting with his legal team, which was chaired by Special Counsel Aloy Ejimakor, at the Department of State Services (DSS) facility in Abuja.
Ejimakor revealed this through his X handle, claiming that Kanu’s continued arrest is due to such unwarranted animosity.

“Such unfounded and unjustifiable hatred is why MAZI NNAMDI KANU is in detention without trial. Being the quintessential leader that he is, he doesn’t want any Igbo person to go through what he has experienced at the hands of the judiciary in Nigeria.”
