The lead counsel of Nnamdi Kanu , leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra , Aloy Ejimakor, on Friday charged the Presidency, Nigerian Army, Nigeria Police, and Nigerians to desist from referring to the group as a terrorist organization. Ejimakor warned that such a defamatory and prejudicial label attached to IPOB would be 'met and countervailed with muscular litigation and other lawful measures.
'Henceforth, any further reference to IPOB as a terrorist organization will be met and countervailed with muscular litigation and other lawful measures, regardless of the entity involved. This is because there is a subsisting judgment of a competent High Court in Nigeria which ruled that IPOB's proscription/declaration as a terrorist group by Buhari is illegal, discriminatory, and unconstitutional.
