Ejiofor alleged that constitutional safeguards were undermined and that several detained Igbo youths have been subjected to prolonged unlawful detention, secretive trials, and pressure to plead guilty.
Human rights lawyer and counsel to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor, has raised serious concerns over recent terrorism-related proceedings at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
Ejiofor alleged that constitutional safeguards were undermined and that several detained Igbo youths have been subjected to prolonged unlawful detention, secretive trials, and pressure to plead guilty.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, Ejiofor warned that the Nigerian Constitution must not be sacrificed for political convenience or prosecutorial expediency.
“The Constitution is not a decorative manuscript to be admired in tranquillity and discarded in moments of political expediency,” he said.
