The detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu has been granted access to his legal team by the Department of State Services (DSS), almost two months after denying him access to the same.
Making the disclosure on, Monday evening, the lead counsel to Kanu’s legal team, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor said that Kanu was granted access to his legal team following the directives given by the Director General of the DSS, Mr Adeola Oluwatosin Ajayi.
According to him, the legal team who has been denied access to Kanu since September 27, 2024, was joined by a US-based Mr. Ndidi Awurun, and that the legal team’s access to Kanu on Monday was made possible by the intervention of their legal luminary, Hon. Obi Aguocha.
“Today, on the directives of the DG DSS, the #MnkLegalTeam conducted the first successful visitation with MAZI NNAMDI KANU since Sept. 27.
“Mazi Ndidi Awurum, who came from the US, was with us. Our ramrod legal forays & Hon Obi Aguocha’s intervention were crucial to this outcome,” Ejimakor posted on X, sharing the news.
Ejimakor had severally raised the alarm over the DSS blatant and continued disobedience of extant court order in Kanu’s case by denying the legal team access to the detained IPOB leader.
SaharaReporters reported earlier this month that Ejimakor said that in deliberate violation of court order allowing Kanu access to his lawyers, the DSS blocked Kanu access from his legal team.
He vowed that following the DSS’s insistence on violating the court order, all suspended legal actions to enforce compliance would proceed apace and with much vigor.
