Lead counsel to the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Aloy Ejimakor, has raised concerns over aspects of the ongoing trial involving his client, Nnamdi Kanu, particularly regarding time allowed for the defence to present its case.

Ejimakor, in a statement, said the defence was given a limited period to open its case after the prosecution closed its presentation in June 2025, following the testimony of five witnesses since the trial began in March.
