Apart from Mr Ajayi, the court directed that the federal government should be served with the notice through their lawyer, Adegboyega Awomolo, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria.Mr Ejimakor, in a statement on Friday, said the notice was necessitated by the “repeated disobedience of the court-ordered visitation” of Mr Kanu by the SSS director-general.
“Therefore, if the director-general of SSS persists on this ignoble path, he will leave us with no other option than to commence vigorous contempt proceedings against him,” Mr Ejimakor stated.The legal team, for instance, accused the SSS of blocking them from visiting the IPOB leader last Monday.Before then, the SSS allegedly prevented some lawyers from seeing the IPOB leader in 2021.Mr Kanu was first arrested in 2015 under the administration of former Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari.
