SSS Has Granted Us Access To Kanu, Says Lawyer

The Department of State Services (DSS) has granted detained
leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) access to his
lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor.

Ejiofor made this known in a statement on Friday.

He said: “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.”

Ejiofor had on Thursday protested an application for audience
with his client had not been approved.

In another tweet late Thursday, Ejiofor said he had met with the
IPOB leader.

The tweet reads:” Update on meeting with MNK today, 2nd July
2021:

“My Client – Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, was actually abducted by the
accursed Kenya’s Special Police Force on the 18th of June 2021 at
their International Airport and consequently taken to an
undisclosed residence under dehumanizing conditions.

“He was tortured and subjected to all forms of inhuman treatment
which worsened his health condition. He was illegally detained for
eight (8) good DAYS in Kenya before being transfered to their
Nigerian counterpart.

“He was purportedly investigated on a bogus charge while in
their custody, ostensibly, awaiting to be handed over after their
findings proved him innocent of all the spurious allegations. They
later beckoned on their Nigerian counterparts to take over.

“Kenyan Government was deeply involved in the abduction,
detention and ill-treatment of my Client before the illegal
handover to their Nigerian counterpart.

“A scan of his heart showed that the heart has enlarged by 13%
due to the dehumanising treatment meted to him. There will be need
for immediate proper medical examination and attention for him.

“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu conveyed his goodwill message to all IPOB
family members worldwide, and craved for your unrelentless
prayers.

“We are going back to the Court for the needful. Other details
cannot be entertained here.

“His fortified legal team will address these infractions at the
proper forum as we progress. Other details on our legal strategy,
may not be made public.

“With Chukwuokike Abiama on our side, Victory is assured. For if
God Almighty be for us, who can be against us?

Kanu has been in the custody of the DSS since he was arrested
and repatriated to Nigeria on Sunday to face trial after jumping
bail in 2017 for charges bordering on terrorism, treasonable
felony, and illegal possession of arms among others.

His trial will continue from the 26th and 27th of July 2021 at
the Abuja Federal High Court.
