Aloy Ejimakor, the Special Counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), reportedly collapsed in Kuje Prison on Saturday.
It was reported that Ejimakor was rushed to Kuje Medical Centre were he is receiving treatment after losing consciousness.
According to Daily Post, the development was disclosed to it by one of Kanu’s lawyers, Maxwell Opara.
“Yes, I went to see him and he was admitted at Kuje medical centre where they are treating him and I left about some few hours ago,” he was quoted as saying when asked to confirm if Ejimakor collapsed in prison.
“The thing happened before I came and we arrived there around 12 and I started hearing the news.
“As one of his lawyers and colleagues, I insisted on seeing him and they took me to see him. I saw Sowore and others before they took me to go and see him.”
This comes 24 hours after the presiding judge of Kuje Magistrate Court, Abubakar Umar Sai’id refused to sign the bail bond for his release.
The Special Counsel was arrested on Monday with 12 others including Kanu’s younger brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, during the free Nnamdi Kanu protest in Abuja.
Following their arrest by the Nigeria Police Force, Ejimakor and others were arraigned before the Magistrate Court in Kuje.
