DSS Grants Nnamdi Kanu Access To Lawyers
The Department of State Services (DSS) has granted the embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, access to his legal representatives for the first time in nearly two months.
This development, announced by Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, Kanu’s lead counsel, took place on Monday following directives from the DSS Director General, Mr. Adeola Oluwatosin Ajayi.
Ejimakor revealed that the legal team, which had been barred from seeing Kanu since September 27, 2024, was finally able to meet with him.
He noted that the team included US-based attorney Mr. Ndidi Awurum, and credited the breakthrough to the intervention of legal expert Hon. Obi Aguocha.
“Today, on the directives of the DG DSS, the #MnkLegalTeam conducted the first successful visitation with MAZI NNAMDI KANU since September 27. Mazi Ndidi Awurum, who travelled from the US, was with us. Our rigorous legal efforts, alongside Hon. Obi Aguocha’s intervention, were crucial to this outcome,” Ejimakor shared in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
Ejimakor had previously expressed concern about the DSS’s blatant disregard for a court order regarding Kanu’s access to his legal team.
It would be recalled that Ejimakor accused the DSS of intentionally violating a court order that permitted Kanu to see his lawyers.
He then pledged that all previously suspended legal actions aimed at enforcing compliance would proceed vigorously owing to DSS’s continued defiance of the court order
