The Management of ABN TV has issued a public apology to Barrister Aloy Ejimakor the lead Counsel to the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, over the inadvertent use of his photograph in a news publication released on Monday, July 27, 2026.
The publication, titled “Nnamdi Kanu Formally Terminates Ifeanyi Ejiofor’s Services, Withdraws Authority to Represent Him, IPOB,” was mistakenly illustrated with Barr. Ejimakor’s photograph due to what the media organisation described as an editorial error.
In a statement released on Tuesday, ABN TV clarified that the use of Ejimakor’s image was unintentional and was never intended to suggest that the report referred to him or to associate him with the subject matter of the story.
