Ifeanyi Ejiofor, counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Friday, alleged that the Department of
State Services, DSS, has refused the Biafra agitator from changing his clothes.
Ejiofor alleged that DSS refused Kanu from changing his
clothes despite a court order to that effect.
He insisted that the DSS refusal was a violation of the
subsisting court order.
Recall that Justice Binta Nyako of an Abuja Federal High
Court had ordered the secret police to allow Kanu to change his clothes.
The judge had said she was tired of seeing the IPOB leader
in the same clothes during court proceedings.
Responding, the Nigerian Government had said Kanu has
refused to change his clothes.
Kanu had continued to appear in the same clothes during his
court outings.
However, Ejiofor stressed that DSS is responsible for Kanu
appearing in the same outfit.
Addressing journalists in Owerri, Imo State, Ejiofor vowed
to protest against the actions of DSS
He said: “Extensive interaction was held with him on mainly
legal issues, as well as other engaging related matters.
“Though, for reasons we were not told, the officials of the
DSS rejected for the umpteenth time, the change of clothes brought to him.
“We, however, protested against this obvious violation of
court order, and insisted on seeing the Head of the appropriate department to
lodge our complaint, but Onyendu advised that we should take up the infractions
at the appropriate forum in view of the fact that a positive order of court was
flouted.”
