Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, the Special Counsel to the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, on Friday raised the alarm again over the Department of State Services (DSS) blatant and continued disobedience of extant court order in Kanu’s case.
Ejimakor said that in deliberate violation of court order allowing Kanu access to his lawyers, the DSS on Friday again blocked Kanu access from his legal team.
He vowed that following the DSS’s insistence on violating the court order, all suspended legal actions to enforce compliance would proceed apace and with much vigour.
Ejimakor said, “Today, in a blatant & continuing disobedience of extant court order, the DSS barred the Legal Team of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from conducting a visitation with him.
“For this reason, all suspended legal actions to enforce compliance will proceed apace and with much vigour.”
According to reports, Ejimakor on Monday said that the DSS would get into trouble with the Federal High Court for continuing to deny Kanu access to his legal team.
Ejimakor had vowed that Kanu’s legal team would visit him at the DSS custody despite restrictions by the secret police, noting that the DSS’s restriction of the IPOB leader from meeting with his legal team is against a court order issued by Justice Binta Nyako.
Further reports stated that Ejimakor complained that the DSS had been denying Kanu access to his legal team after the detained IPOB leader demanded the recusal of Justice Nyako from his case.
However, Ejimakor said the DSS had continued to deny Kanu access to his legal team despite the court’s threat.
