The detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has engaged the services of another Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Chukwuma Machukwu Umeh (SAN), to increase and strengthen his defence team.
This increment was disclosed by one of Kanu’s lawyers, Aloy Ejimakor, on Monday evening.
“Just exited from a groundbreaking visitation with Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. It was groundbreaking because we covered many new grounds, including the addition of Chukwuma Machukwu Umeh (SAN) to the Legal Team. Onyendu sends his love and felicitation to all his true followers,” Ejimakor wrote on his social media page.
On January 18, Kanu’s lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, had unveiled Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN) as the leader of the defence counsel for Nnamdi Kanu.
At that time, Kanu was expected to appear in court before Justice Binta Nyako to resume the 15-count charge leveled against him by the Nigerian government.
