Nnamdi Kanu’s Lawyer Speaks Out, Threatens Legal Action Over “Igbo Coup” Label

Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), who is currently detained, has expressed his intention to take legal action against anyone who falsely refers to the 1966 military coup led by Major Chukwuma Nzeogwu as an “Igbo coup,” according to his lawyer.

Kanu’s Special Counsel, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, made this known in a post on his X account. He said the IPOB leader made the vow when his legal team visited him at the Department of State Services (DSS) custody on Monday.

He wrote, “At today’s visitation with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, he instructed us as his team of lawyers to take vigorous legal action against any person or entity that henceforth refers to the unnecessary 1966 coup as an Igbo coup.”

According to Ejimakor, the full list of the 1966 coup plotters and their ethnicities comprises the following names: “Major Chukwuma Nzeogwu — Igbo; Major Adewale Ademoyega — Yoruba; Major E. Ifeajuna — Igbo; Capt. G. Adeleke — Yoruba; Capt. Gibson Jalo — BALI; Capt. Swanton — MIDDLE BELT; Lt. Fola Oyewole — YORUBA; Lt. R. Egbiko — Esan; Lt. T. Katsina — Hausa/Fulani; Lt. O. Olafemiyan — Yoruba; Lt. Hope Eghagha — Urhobo; Lt. Dag Warribor — Ijaw; 2nd Lt. Saleh Dambo — Hausa, and 2nd Lt. John Atom Kpera — Tiv.”

Ejimakor stressed, “Out of 14, Only 2 were Igbo; why Igbo traducers & Igbophobic falsifiers of history tagged it ‘Igbo Group’ only God knows.

“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.”
