Ifeanyi Ejiofor, Lead Counsel for the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has alleged that the Department of State Services maltreated him and other lawyers during their scheduled visit to Kanu at the DSS custody. Ejiofor disclosed this at his office in Abuja when he hosted IPOB’s Attorney in the United States, Bruce Fein and the Convener of #RevolutionNow Protest, Omoyele Sowore. Counsel to Kanu noted that despite notifying DSS of the visit inline with the order of court,they were mistreated by officials of the secret police. Ejiofor also alleged that DSS equally denied the IPOB’s US based Attorney, Bruce Fein access to Kanu. Speaking further, Ejiofor alleged that Kanu was manhandled by security agents on transit to Nigeria from Kenya, hence the reason that informed calls for urgent medical treatment. He however called on the authorities to prevail on the DSS to obey the order of the Abuja Federal High Court mandating Kanu’s lawyers access to him twice a week.
