Ifeanyi Ejiofor, the lawyer representing the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has intimated that the Department of State Services (DSS) failed to grant the British Consul and Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife access to his client.
The court, in the explanation of Ejiofor, had extended the number of people who could visit Nnamdi Knau in the DSS detention center.
Ejiofor also mentioned that Kanu has been given permission to have three visitors of his choosing, noting that the people are not restricted to be his attorneys and family members. In a statement issued, the lawyer hit out at the DSS for denying the British Consul access to Kanu.

The statement read: “In line with this Order of Court, we forwarded the list of names scheduled to visit Our Client on Monday, 25th October, 2021, which included Attorney Bruce Fein – our Client’s International Attorney and Legal Representative in the United States of America.
“Attorney Fein arrived Nigeria from the United States of America to witness the Court proceedings of the 21st Day of October, 2021, and also utilize the opportunity of the visit to interface with his Client – Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
“Unknown to us, a rude shock awaited us at the DSS. Upon arrival at the DSS Headquarters on Monday, 25th October, 2021, for the scheduled routine visit, the detaining authority did not stop at keeping us waiting for well over two hours, but thereafter specifically told us that no foreigner, including Bruce Fein would be allowed to visit Our Client, and as such, he would not participate in the visit.

“The renowned International Constitutional Human Rights Lawyer was not only disappointed with the Authority concerned, but was shocked at the brazen manner in which the Nigerian Court Orders are flouted with impunity by those whose primary mandate is to protect and preserve these Laws and maintain Order.
“Attorney Bruce Fein, consequently left the premises of the DSS visibly broken. Apparently, he has gathered enough to feed the International Community upon his return to the United States”.
