Counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, pro-Biafra agitator, Ifeanyi Ejiofor
has urged the Federal High Court, Abuja, to charge the Director-General of the
Department of State Services, DSS, of alleged contempt of court.
Ejiofor said the Chief Registrar of the Federal High Court
should endorse the contempt charges filed against the DSS DG.
He noted that failure to endorse the charges would mean the
court is taking sides with the secret police.
Ejiofor made the call while lamenting the refusal of the DSS
to allow Kanu access to his lawyers twice.
In a statement he issued, Ejiofor said the action of the
secret police was contrary to the court ruling.
According to Ejiofor: “With the foregoing, if the Chief
Registrar of the Federal High Court, Abuja, fails and/or refuses to endorse the
relevant contempt forms filed against the Director-General of the DSS for the
gross disobedience to positive orders of court, as he has done in the past,
then, it will become obvious to the world that the Registrar of the Federal
High Court, Abuja, is actively protecting the contemnors.
“Orders of court must be obeyed to the letter and must not
only be respected, but must be treated with sanctity. Sadly, this has become a
joke taken too far!”
Recall that Kanu’s Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor had
disclosed that the DSS prevented them from having access to their client twice.
The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, is
being detained by the DSS.
Kanu has been in detention after he was repatriated to
Nigeria from Kenya.
He is facing charges bordering on terrorism before Justice
Binta Nyako of the Abuja Federal High Court.
