Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor, lawyer of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of
the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Monday, has said his client may not
get fair hearing in his trail, adding that he has been subjected to mental
torture in the custody of the Department of State Services, DSS.
Ejiofor said this while featuring on ‘Good Morning Show’ on
ARISE TV.
“There is an underlined fact that my client will not get a
fair trial in that court, that is settled. The issue of fair trial has been
taken away by this collaboration.
“He’s being subjected to mental torture as I speak with you.
Because when someone is in incarceration as a political prisoner, which he is,
he has no access to his wife, Kanu has no access to his brothers,” he said.
“He has no access to his relatives to interact with them.
Even lawyers who are coming to see him are coming with specific approval by the
DG SSS. So it shows that he is undergoing mental torture and it is worse still
that Nnamdi Kanu is under a debilitating health situation.”
Kanu is currently in DSS custody following an order by an
Abuja Federal High Court.
The Justice Binta Nyako-led court gave the order, following
Kanu’s arrest and repatriation by the Nigerian government.
