Mike Ozekhome, senior counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has told the supreme court that he is scared that his client might die in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).
“We are pleading for him to be transferred from DSS custody to Kuje correctional centre so that he can begin treatment like others.
“He’s getting really sick, I’m scared he may die in the custody of DSS. Dead bodies are not prosecuted.” Reacting to Ozekhome’s plea, the apex court said God will keep the IPOB leader alive and that he will not die in detention.The court said even if it proceeds to hear the appeal, there is no space within its calendar to write and deliver the verdict within the 90-day deadline.
“Nnamdi Kanu will not die in detention. God will keep him alive and his blood won’t be in your hands,” the court said. The apex court added that the court will hear all the motions in the case on the resumption of hearing on September 14.AdvertisementOn April 8 2022, Binta Nyako, a federal high court judge in Abuja, struck out eight of the 15 counts in the charge.
