Aloy Ejimakor, legal consultant to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has reacted to the revocation of bail earlier granted to the former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami.
Malami was recently quizzed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged re-looting of recovered “Abacha loot.”
The EFCC reportedly withdrew Malami’s bail, accusing the former AGF of violating the conditions attached to it.
However, Malami’s media aide, Mohammed Bello Doka, in a statement, claimed that the bail revocation stemmed solely from his attendance at a political event in Kebbi State, and not from any breach of bail conditions.
Doka dismissed reports suggesting that the former AGF failed to meet his bail terms, describing such claims as “misleading and contrary to the facts.”
Reacting to the development, Kanu’s legal consultant, in a post on his X (formerly Twitter) handle, asked Malami to “carry his cross” and experience the impunity and disregard for the rule of law that, according to him, characterized Malami’s tenure in office.
Ejimakor accused Malami of masterminding Kanu’s extraordinary rendition from Kenya in gross violation of international law, urging him not to complain about his current ordeal with the EFCC.
He wrote: “Malami’s continued detention amid his back-and-forth ‘bail issues’ with the EFCC exemplifies how he falsely accused Mazi Nnamdi Kanu of ‘jumping bail,’ got his bail revoked, and approved the extraordinary rendition that convulsed Nigeria. Truly, what goes around, comes around.”
