Aloy Ejimakor , the Lead Counsel to Nnamdi Kanu , leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Friday, accused the Department of State Services, DSS , of hindering and frustrating the Biafra agitator's right to a fair trial ahead of his next court appearance. Ejimakor said DSS operatives disobeyed court orders by insisting that Kanu's lawyers see him separately in its holding facility in Abuja.
'The DSS insisted that members of the legal team must meet with Mazi Kanu separately or we must leave the premises. For this reason, Mazi Kanu’s team of lawyers left the DSS facility without seeing him, a situation that will surely complicate the hearing on 19th June. 'This latest disobedience of a subsisting court order by the DSS is symbolic of what has become an executive self-indictment of the trial that the government itself and the Court insist must take place.
