The Department of State Services, DSS, on Wednesday denied the legal team of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, access to the Biafra agitator.
DSS also denied a former Abia State House of Assembly member, Obinna Ichita and Kanu’s family access to him.
Posting on X, Kanu’s lead Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor described DSS’ action as a violation of the Nigerian Constitution and a court order.
He wrote: “ALERT/UPDATE: Today, the DSS arbitrarily refused us (the Legal Team), an ex-member of Abia State House of Assembly & the family of MAZI NNAMDI KANU from having a visitation with him. This flagrant violation of the Nigerian Constitution and a subsisting Court order will not stand.”
Kanu has been locked up by the DSS since he was rearrested and subjected to extraordinary rendition from Kenya to Nigeria.
Since his return in 2021, courts had discharged and acquitted Kanu of all terrorism and treasonable felony charges but the Nigerian government has refused to grant him freedom.
Meanwhile, Justice Binta Nyako of an Abuja Federal High Court had adjourned Kanu’s trial indefinitely.
