Aloy Ejimakor, legal consultant to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has described The New York Times report suggesting that United States airstrikes on parts of Sokoto State was based on intelligence provided by a screwdriver seller in Onitsha as a national embarrassment.
Ejimakor said the Nigerian government has contradicted itself by initially crediting the intelligence report leading to the bombing to Nigerian government only to retract and blame an Onitsha screwdriver seller.
New York Times had claimed that one Emeka, an Onitsha based Screwdriver Trader and ‘operator of a small NGO’ who falsely claimed to have documented “125 thousand Christian deaths” using “google searches was responsible for the Intel that led to the bombing of some parts of Sokoto State last year.
However, Ejimakor posted on X, “Previously, the Nigerian government claimed the CREDIT for providing the intelligence for the US airstrike in Sokoto.
“Now, the same government (thru its $9m lobbyists) has contradicted itself by shifting the CREDIT to a “screwdriver trader.” This is a national embarrassment.”
