Barrister Aloy Ejimakor Deserves A Medal For Numerous Court Victories For IPOB And Mazi Nnamdi Kanu
By Biafra Vanguard, 05:06:26
Barrister Aloy Ejimakor is generally regarded as a competent human rights/constitutional lawyer.
A Special Counsel to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and the IPOB since March 2019. As Special counsel he handles international advocacy, not just domestic court work. From Umuahia to the UN, he made sure our voice wasn’t buried under procedure or propaganda.
Aloy chose the hard briefs. He took the protests, the prison remand, the headlines and still showed up to court prepared. That’s not just competence. That’s loyalty to justice. For his intellect, his courage, and his refusal to trade principle for convenience thank you Sir. A trusted lawyer defends a client. You defended a cause and still defending.
Here are some of his major wins :
(1) January 2022: Abia State High Court, Umuahia Fundamental rights case over the Sept 2017 military invasion of Kanu’s ancestral home. It was the first victory that declared that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu did not jump bail.
(2) October 2022: The Federal High Court, Umuahia Division, which was the first high court declaration that Nnamdi is a victim of Extraordinary Rendition.
(3) October 2023: State High Court, Enugu which declared the 2017 proscription of IPOB as a terrorist group as unconstitutional, also declared that self determination is not a crime.
(4) March 2018: African Union Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights, rendered a Decision that the arrest/trial of Nnamdi Kanu/IPOB members and the proscription of IPOB are violations of African Charter.
(5) 2017–2018 United Nations Decision: United Nations Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary Detentions, which ruled against Nigeria’s mistreatment of IPOB and Python Dance.
(6) October 2022: Court of Appeal "Discharged Judgement" for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Remember it was based on his Extraordinary Rendition. This was the idea of Barrister Ejimakor, he wrote the argument on the Extraordinary Rendition which was the sole basis of that Victory.
(7) 2nd July 2022: United Nations Human Rights Council: Barrister Aloy Ejimakor worked with Bruce Fein in securing the extraordinary rendition victory which directed that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu be released and compensated.
(8) In October 2022: United Nations Special Rapporteur Reports which made additional findings that MNK is a victim of arbitrary detention and extraordinary rendition. Barrister Aloy Ejimakor worked with Prof Rachel Murray (based in UK), Kanunta and Solomon Egbo.
(9) May 2021: Another United Nations Special Rapporteur Decision that declared the proscription of IPOB as a discrimination against Igbo people and therefore a violation of United Nations charter which Nigeria signed. Barrister Ejimakor worked with Prof Rachel Murray (based in UK), Kanunta and Solomon Egbo.
(10) June 2025: Kenya High Court, in which Barrister Aloy Ejimakor worked with Prof. P.L.O. Lumumba and Kanunta/FineBoy to secure the victory declaring MNK’s abduction and forcible rendition unlawful/unconstitutional and awarded damages.
These Decisions are used around the world as evidence that has resulted in granting asylum/resident status to thousands of IPOB members in many foreign countries.
In October 2025, Aloy Ejimakor was in the streets protesting the unlawful Life sentence on Kanu, he was arrested, detained and charged; and is now facing trial.
In summary, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor has proved himself a trusted counsel to his client Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and the global IPOB family in all honesty and it is expected that every IPOB member, especially those who have benefited from his sweats in seeking and achieving Asylum, must accord him maximum respect.

SPECIAL UPDATE:
In the past few days, I have been inundated with inquiries from legions of wellwishers (in Nigeria & abroad) as to whether the appellate Brief for MAZI NNAMDI KANU has been filed.
I relayed these genuine concerns to #MNK & he instructed me to now publicly disclose that:
YES. The Brief has been filed, but it’s not the version that was circulated on social media some days ago.
What now remains is for the Government to join issues by filing it’s own reply Brief, and so soon thereafter, the Court of Appeal will set a date for the hearing of the appeal or adoption of the respective Briefs in open court.
Once this is done, the Court will be minded to render its judgment within 90 days, as required by law.
Thank you.
ALOY EJIMAKOR.

This update follows the conclusion of the Kuje hearing a few minutes ago today. In summary, our TRIAL was adjourned to 31st July 2026 because the prosecution did not come. Till then, the struggle in defense of freedom continues. Thank you all for your support & prayers.
Did you notice how security agencies quickly tracked the alleged creator of Tinubu’s AI voice all the way to Benin Republic?
When did AI voice-cloning or even video-cloning (for content) become a crime? There’re millions of it on social media.
Get serious, please.
UPDATE: On our way to Kuje to stand trial for daring to protest for the release of MAZI NNAMDI KANU in October last year. Today, they must SHOW ME THE LAW we violated. #UnfairTrial.
Before President Tinubu came to power, he & his part of the country (the Southwest) were the most vocal in demanding the RESTRUCTURING of Nigeria.
Now, everybody has fallen silent & I’m wondering why. What happened? Can anyone hazard a guess?
UPDATE:
Two days ago, myself & my team initiated a constitutional suit before the High Court of Enugu State, praying for composite redress for the grave human rights violations levied in Ezeagu LGA of Enugu State early last month. The suit is muscular & we intend to prevail.
As Aloy Ejimakor, Sowore & other #FreeNnamdiKanu protesters face trial on 5th June, democracy is also on trial
By: Barrister Cyril Orogwu
Why are peaceful protesters still standing trial in a democracy?
Today, a video surfaced showing Aloy Ejimakor, counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, on his way to Abuja alongside other #FreeNnamdiKanu protesters for their continued trial. He promised to update the public on the 5th.
But before that update comes, Nigeria must answer a question.
When citizens gather to peacefully demand justice, should they be treated as criminals? When lawyers, activists and ordinary Nigerians raise their voices on matters of public concern, should the response be prosecution or dialogue?
A nation does not prove its strength by putting peaceful voices on trial. A nation proves its strength by protecting the rights guaranteed by its Constitution.
As the nation watches and the world pays attention, the upcoming proceedings will be more than a trial of individuals.
It will be a trial of our commitment to democracy. A trial of our respect for fundamental rights. A trial of whether dissent still has a place in Nigeria.
History has a long memory. And history is watching.
