卡努的律师认为将IPOB标记为恐怖组织是法律上有缺陷的. Kanu's lawyer argues labeling IPOB a terrorist group is legally flawed.

纳姆迪卡努的首席律师阿洛伊·埃吉马科尔说,联邦政府将比亚弗拉土著人民 (IPOB) 称为恐怖主义赞助者是错误的. Aloy Ejimakor, lead counsel for Nnamdi Kanu, says the federal government is wrong to label the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) a terrorist sponsor. 他认为这一名称在法律上有缺陷, 因为根据种族身份, 每一个原住民的前东部地区被视为该群体的一员. He argues the designation is legally flawed because, by ethnic identity, every native of the former Eastern Region is considered a member of the group. 埃吉马科尔认为这一行动将地区文化认同与恐怖主义等同, Ejimakor contends this action equates regional cultural identities with terrorism and is a misnomer.
