Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB will be released soon, his lawyer Ifeanyi Ejiofor, has said.
Ejiofor said that the Federal Government lacked strong evidence to use in convicting Kanu, urging Kanu’s supporters to be patient and prayerful.
He said: “We are in high spirits that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will soon come out of detention sooner than expected, and better too. It’s one thing for allegations to be made; it’s another thing to establish it. But I don’t think there’s anything strong enough to convict him.”
On what to expect during the July 26 court hearing, he said: “Nothing extraordinary will happen that day. That I can assure you. We’ll be there as usual to entertain applications. If there’s any amendment, we’ll take it up from there.
“What we have is still the 3-count charge. We also have an application overdue for hearing, that is the invasion of his house where 28 persons were killed.
“We have all the pictorial evidence. We’ll tender them before the court so the court will look at them to ensure justice.”
