Nnamdi Kanu's Lawyer Embroiled in Multi-Million Naira Contract Scandal Amid Tax Evasion Allegations

Aloy Ejimakor, the lawyer representing Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), is entangled in a web of controversy surrounding government contracts and tax evasion allegations. Ejimakor's company, De Atlantic Investments Ltd, has secured multiple lucrative contracts from various Nigerian government agencies, totaling ₦355,603,036.56. These contracts include environmental impact assessments, monitoring and evaluation systems, agricultural research, and emergency rice supply 

The crux of the issue lies in Ejimakor's alleged failure to comply with tax laws, a requirement for companies to qualify for federal contracts in Nigeria. This raises questions about Ejimakor's integrity and potential conflicts of interest in his representation of Kanu. Critics argue that Ejimakor's involvement in government dealings may have compromised his ability to effectively advocate for Kanu's release.

Kanu's case has been marred by controversy, with the Appeal Court judgment freeing him due to his forceful rendition from Kenya being against international conventions and treaties . However, his continued detention suggests that external factors may be at play. Ejimakor's government contracts and tax evasion allegations have sparked outrage, with many questioning whether his interests align with Kanu's.

Government Contracts and Tax Evasion Allegations:

- _Environmental Impact Assessment Project_: ₦12,847,604.31 from the Federal Ministry of Niger Delta

- _Monitoring and Evaluation System_: ₦78,739,224.30 from the Federal Ministry of Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Affairs

- _Agricultural Research_: ₦7,428,987.03 from the Agricultural Research Council of Nigeria

- _Emergency Rice Supply_: ₦169,200,000.00 from the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security

These allegations have fueled speculation about Ejimakor's true motivations and potential collusion with government agencies. As Kanu's family seeks British government intervention, citing extraordinary rendition , Ejimakor's involvement in government dealings has become a contentious issue.

The intersection of Ejimakor's business interests and Kanu's case raises critical questions about the lawyer's ability to provide unbiased representation. As the legal battle for Kanu's freedom continues, scrutiny of Ejimakor's actions will only intensify.
