I Don’t Know When Next I Can See Nnamdi Kanu-Ejimakor Cries Out
Mr. Aloy Ejimakor, the lawyer of the detained Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, complained that he does not know when he will be permitted to visit Kanu, who is currently incarcerated at the Abuja headquarters of the Department of State Services, DSS.
Ejimakor made the complaint on Friday evening after an effort by Kanu’s legal team to visit him was reportedly turned down by DSS officials.
This news comes just a day after the judge handling Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's case, Justice Binta Nyako of the Abuja High Court, decided to step down from the trial. The judge had been overseeing Kanu's case since July 2021, when he was brought back to Nigeria from Kenya.
Kanu’s lead council, in a press release on behalf of the entire legal team, blamed the secret police for infringing subsisting Court orders concerning the IPOB Leader.
The press release issued to newsmen reads: ”Today, in transgression of subsisting court orders and the fundamental law, the DSS restricted the legal team of MAZI NNAMDI KANU from meeting with him at the detention facility.
“It seems like the DSS has called of all future visitations to #MNK as a revenge against #MNK “for driving off Justice Binta Nyako from the proceedings and causing her humiliation.”
“What this means is that the DSS, acting on behalf of the Federal Government of Nigeria, has illegally restricted #MNK from his legal team, thus making his segregated confinement absolute.
”I don’t know the next time, if ever, it may be feasible to see #MNK again.”
