Nnamdi Kanu's Camp Finally Gains Access To IPOB Leader

Ifeanyi Ejiofor, counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, has finally gained access to meet the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

In a tweet via his Twitter page on Friday, Ifeanyi Ejiofor said the Department of State Security (DSS) has approved an application to meet with his client.

He tweeted, “Update, Thankfully Our effort is yielding the desired result, We have just received a communication approving Our visit to Our Client- Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Shall keep the World posted on the outcome, immediately after the meeting, later in the Day. God is with Us,”  the tweet reads.

Nnamdi Kanu was rearrested and arraigned before Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court, Abuja, who ordered his remand in the custody of the DSS until July 26th.

The IPOB leader is facing several charges of terrorism, treasonable felony, and illegal possession of firearms.

Earlier, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) had accused the secret police of plotting to kill its leader.

In a statement on Friday, IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, called on DSS to allow Kanu access to his lawyers.

The statement reads: “Following the refusal of the Nigerian Government and her wicked security agency, the Department of State Services, DSS, to allow our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyers and family access to him in the dungeon of DSS secret cell, it is now confirmed that their real intention in kidnapping him and bundling him back to Nigeria is to kill him.

“The mission they could not actualize in September 14, 2017, when soldiers invaded his Afaraukwu home during Operation Python Dance is what they want to actualize now.

“His health has been deteriorating in the DSS cell as he has refused to eat their food since almost one week they kidnapped him.

“We demand that DSS should allow him access to his lawyers and family members for this is his lawful right.”
