Special Counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Aloy Ejimakor has protested the seizing of his legal document by the Department of State Services, DSS, warning that Kanu cannot be tried under such violations.
Ejimakor said he took a legal document to Kanu ( his client) for review at the DSS headquarters on Monday, but to his disbelief, the DSS officials seized it and that the document were yet to be returned to him.
Ejimakor who likened the twist in Kanu’s trial to “court-Martial“ made the claim on his X handle as soon as he exited his visit to the IPOB leader who has been in the custody of the DSS since 29 June 2021.
He said “I just exited from today’s visitation with Onyendu #MNK. I took a critical legal document to him to preview it, but, as usual, the DSS seized the document and never brought it back until I left.
“MNK will NEVER BE TRIED under violations like this. It’s not a court-martial. #FairHearing,” he insisted.
Recall that the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Tuesday failed to grant the fresh bail application for Kanu’s release pending the determination of the case.
Justice Binta Nyako rather ordered for accelerated hearing and adjourned the trial to April 17.
