CONTRARY to insinuations that the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, may have died in the detention of the Department of State Servives, his
his lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, has confirmed that he is stable.
Ejiofor made this known yesterday after he finally met with his client.
The lawyer who is Kanu’s lead counsel had alleged many times that the DSS refused him access to his client in violation of a court order.
Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja had ordered the DSS to grant Ejiofor access to his client, Kanu, without any further delay.
However, speaking in a statement, Ejiofor said, “After weeks of speculations and uncertainties, we have finally seen our Client-Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. We can authoritatively confirm this position to the World. He is firm and stable, less the burden of solitary confinement and concomitant mental torture arising therefrom.
“Though the Detaining Authority is giving him medical attention, he still requires advanced medical care, which formed a substantial part of the relief in our application before the Court.
“He specifically requested that we should extend his heartfelt compliment to millions of his supporters worldwide and all foreign Governments and institutions who are relentlessly following up. Media houses are indeed not left out of this classification.
“We are winning but your prayers are doing wonders, don’t relent, as you continue to remain law-abiding.”
