Ifeanyi Ejiofor, the lawyer for Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), urged Nigerians to hold the Directorate of State Services (DSS) accountable if the activist is killed.
The lawyer’s comments came only hours after Kanu’s family expressed concern for his safety after the DSS denied them access to the IPOB leader during a recent visit to the agency’s Abuja holding facility.
Ejiofor accused the DSS of isolating Kanu from his family and legal team in a statement he personally signed.
The statement read: “We wish to use this medium to place the world on notice that the DSS should be held responsible should anything untoward happen to our client, Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, during this period they are hoarding him from us.
“We shall continue to keep the world abreast of every unfolding event as the DSS continues to thread on this ignominious path.”
