According to the letter, which was made public by Kanu’s Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor: “It has become obvious beyond a reasonable doubt that the Fulani zealots have no incriminating evidence against him. They aim to imprison Nnamdi Kanu indefinitely without a trial praying for either his death or handing his fraudulent prosecution to the next administration and washing their hand like Pontius Pilate.
“For nearly a year, Nnamdi Kanu has been punished by indefinite detention in solitary confinement and denied access to needed nutrition, medical care, and counsel of choice in violation of international human rights law and the Nigerian Constitution. (The Fulani government notoriously honors the Constitution in the breach rather than in the observance). Nnamdi Kanu has also been denied his rights to a public, prompt, and fair trial before an impartial judge.”

He urged Ohanaeze to “face up to your legal and moral responsibilities as professed Biafran leaders. Do not show your heels when danger appears.”
