  • The Nigeria Police Force has filed multiple criminal charges against 13 individuals — including Aloy Ejimakor, lawyer to Nnamdi Kanu, and the IPOB leader’s brother — over their alleged involvement in a protest demanding Kanu’s release.

The Nigeria Police has charged 13 persons for public disturbance and related offences following a Monday protest in Abuja calling for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Those named in two separate First Information Reports (FIR) include:
Barr. Aloy Ejimakor, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, Joshua Emmanuel, Bishop Wilson Anyalewechi, Barr. Okere Kingdom Nnamdi, Clinton Chimeneze, Gabriel Joshua, Isiaka Husseini, Onyekachi Ferdinand, Amadi Prince, Edison Ojisom, Godwill Obioma, and Chima Onuchukwu.

While 12 suspects are listed in one FIR, Onuchukwu appears alone in the other. Both documents were signed by CSP Adedayo Adekunle.

They face charges of criminal conspiracy, disobedience to lawful order, inciting disturbance, and public peace violation, contrary to sections 152, 114, and 113 of the Penal Code Law.

According to police documents, the accused were arrested on October 20, 2025, across various Abuja locations while chanting war songs, blocking roads, and demanding Kanu’s release — actions authorities said endangered national security.

However, they were not arraigned, as they reportedly asked for time to consult their lawyers. The court later ordered their remand at Kuje Prison and adjourned the case until October 24 for arraignment.

Ejiofor added that the defense team has filed bail applications for the suspects but has yet to serve the police formally.
