Special Counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Aloy Ejimakor, has alleged that the operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) seized a particular legal document from him. Ejimakor said he took a critical legal document to Kanu for review at the DSS headquarters on Monday, but the secret police officials collected it without returning it till he left. Kanu’s lawyer made this known in a post he made on X announcing his visit to the IPOB leader who has been in the custody of the DSS since June 29, 2021. The IPOB lawyer, then, vowed that Kanu would not tried under violations of that kind, adding that, it is not a court-martial.
Recall that, Last Tuesday, the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja dismissed the fresh application that Kanu filed to be released on bail, pending the determination of the treasonable felony charge the Federal Government preferred against him. Instead of granting the bail application, Justice Binta Nyako ordered an accelerated hearing of Federal government seven-count charge against him. Justice Nyako then adjourned the trial to April 17.
