IPOB’s Nnamdi Kanu To Drag DSS Before Judge As Security Agency Flout Court Order

The Department of State Service (DSS) has again refused the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu,  a change a cloth despite a court order.

Recall that Justice Binta Nyako had on January 18,2022, ordered the DSS to allow the IPOB leader change his clothe before the next trial date.

But Nnamdi Kanu returned to the Federal High Court, Abuja, on the 19th with the same outfit, prompting and enquiry by the trial judge.

Counsel to the DSS,  Labaran had claimed that the pro-Biafra activist had refused to change his clothes but he was swiftly countered by Nnamdi Kanu’s lead counsel, Mike Ozekhome, who stated that his team could not get the IPOB leader new cloths at short notice.

In a statement to newsmen after meeting Nnamdi Kanu on Wednesday, about 24 days after the directive, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, another counsel to the IPOB leader, said his client was not allowed to change his clothes.

He said, “Though, for reasons we were not told, the officials of the DSS rejected for the umpteenth time, the change of clothes brought for him.

“We, however, protested against this obvious violation of court order, and insisted on seeing the Head of the appropriate department to lodge our complaint, but Onyendu advised that we should take up the infractions at the appropriate forum in view of the fact that a positive order of the court was flouted.

“Also, forming part of our demand for explanations is the fact that some other guests that visited Onyendu were not hitherto cleared. Onyendu still insisted that this obvious infraction should be addressed at the appropriate forum because it constitutes a violation of the positive order of the court.

“The visit proceeded smoothly and personal notes were taken of Onyendu’s erudite views/contributions towards a successful outing come 16th day of February, 2021.”
