The American Veterans of Igbo Descent (AVID) has condemned threats issued against Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, human rights lawyer and Special Counsel to the imprisoned leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, by a northern Nigerian youth identified as the President of Arewa Youths Council, Abdul Danbature.
In a statement signed by its President, Sylvester Onyia, and Secretary, Godson Obiagwu, AVID accused Danbature of issuing “reckless and dangerous threats” against Ejimakor following the lawyer’s criticism of comments made by former Nigerian Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, regarding the Biafra war, the Aburi Accord, and the late Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu in a recently published book.
