Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, or IPOB, was barred from his legal team by the Department of State Services, or DSS, on Friday.
Aloy Ejimakor, Kanu’s Lead Counsel, revealed this in a post on X.
Ejimakor revealed that DSS’s most recent move was in persistent violation of a court decision granting Kanu access to his legal counsel.
In light of the most recent action, he pledged to vigorously pursue any pending legal proceedings.
Ejimakor wrote: “Today, the DSS prohibited Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s legal team from visiting him, in flagrant and ongoing violation of the current court order.
“As a result, all pending legal actions to enforce compliance will move forward quickly and vigorously.”
Kanu had been refused access to his attorneys by the DSS in October.
Since his re-arrest and extraordinary rendition in 2021, Kanu has been detained by the DSS.
The Abuja Federal High Court threatened to imprison DSS Director General Adeola Ajayi for contempt after this move.
