Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Department of State Services, DSS, on Friday, prevented Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, from his legal team.<\/p>\n

This was disclosed by Kanu\u2019s Lead Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor via a post on X.<\/p>\n

Ejimakor disclosed that DSS\u2019s latest action was in continued disobedience to a court ruling ordering Kanu access to his legal team.<\/p>\n

He vowed to continue all suspended legal processes with much vigour following the latest action.<\/p>\n

Ejimakor wrote: \u201cToday, 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor this reason, all suspended legal actions to enforce compliance will proceed apace and with much vigour.\u201d<\/p>\n

In October, the DSS had denied Kanu access to his lawyers.<\/p>\n

Kanu has been locked up by the DSS since he was rearrested and subjected to extraordinary rendition in 2021.<\/p>\n

Following this action, the Abuja Federal High Court threatened to jail DSS Director General, Adeola Ajayi for contempt.<\/p>\n
