A magistrate court sitting in Kuje, FCT Abuja, has remanded
the brother of Nnamdi Kanu, Prince Emmanuel Kanu and his lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor,
in Kuje prison.
The remand followed their participation in the
#FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest on Monday in Abuja.
Nnamdi Kanu’s younger brother, Kanuta Kanu, disclosed this
in a post on X, shortly after the court session on Tuesday.
“The magistrate seating 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,” Kanuta Kanu posted on X.
NigerianEye earlier reported that the Nigeria Police
arraigned Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor and his brother Prince Emmanuel
Kanu and 10 others following the protest in Abuja on Monday.
The court document to this effect was shared by former
National Chairman of the Human Rights Commission of Nigeria, HRCN, Prof Chidi
Odinkalu, via X on Tuesday.
The police charged them for inciting disturbance and breach
of public peace in disobedience to a court order.
According to the document sighted by DAILY POST, the
suspects were accused of denying other citizens the freedom of movement,
disrupting free flow of traffic while chanting war songs and requesting for the
release of Nnamdi Kanu.
Recall that on Monday

questions on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme said Ejimakor and
Kanu’s brother, along others would be charged on Tuesday.
Hundeyin further stated that they arrested during the
protest would be charged to court after investigation.
