India’s Gandhi Used Sit-at-home Protest Against British Oppression – Ejimakor, Nnamdi Kanu's Laywer Backs IPOB’s Sit-at-home | Sahara Reporters

Aloy Ejimakor, lawyer to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra , Nnamdi Kanu, has said the one-week sit-at-home recently declared by the Indigenous People of Biafra to commence from November 5 is a non-violent tool the agitators know how to use in demanding the release of their leader, Nnamdi Kanu.He said,"It is customary for judges to permit non-parties, whether lawyers or lay people, to sit in court to observe proceedings.

"I was therefore troubled that on October 21, these eminent persons were not even allowed entry into the court premises, not to talk of the courtroom itself. A motley of Lawyers who volunteered their appearance for Kanu was also served the same treatment. It shouldn’t be this way and I minced no words raising my objections in a brief press briefing I gave on the spot.

He further revealed that,"Historically, sit-at-home is a nonviolent form of civil disobedience. It was deployed with remarkable success against the British Raj in India by Mahatma Gandhi. At the time in India, I think Gandhi was asked if it was necessary, and his measured response was that it was a necessary evil against the greater evil of British oppression.

When asked about the allegations made against Kanu and IPOB by the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami in a press conference on Friday, Ejimakor said,"The allegations are mere tales by the moonlight, as they do not reflect the charges that are extant before the court."

True

Fulani doesn't understand the effect of Sit at home

You can’t fight the FGN by stopping Anambra election, because you didn’t stop elections in other South East states in 2019. But you tried to stop Anambra in 2018, all because you have conspired to bring Anambra state down. Senatorial election was held in Imo state this year, why?

Gandhi was fighting the oppressive government of the British empire against the Indian nation, not for any other regional government in India. Nnamdi Azikiwe, Awolowo and Balewa also used their tactical method to fight them for Nigeria independence. You can’t stop Anambra electio

The clown saying this doesn't live or own any business in the southeast. Just romanticising with IPOB madness just to get his bank account filled. Mumu people

For the fact that Nigeria citizens are been arrested and killed when ever they come out for protest, I think sit_at_home should be the new way for protest to avoid lost of lives.
