Ifeanyi Ejiofor, lead counsel for the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has revealed why the Department of State Services (DSS) must bring his client to court for his trial tomorrow.
In a press briefing ahead of Nnamdi Kanu’s trial on Thursday, October 21, Ifeanyi Ejiofor said the DSS must produce the IPOB leader in court because many people in the South-East don’t believe that his client is still alive.
Ejiofor noted that the current tension and regular Monday sit-at-home being observed in the South-East was because the DSS failed to bring Kanu to court on July 26.
The lawyer added that he and his team would not condone any form of harassment, molestation or threat by the security operatives against Kanu’s supporters.
He charged IPOB members to act within the confines of the law, adding that anything short of fair hearing and physical appearance of Kanu would aggravate the current agitations.
