Meanwhile, the judge, Binta Nyako, on 20 May this year, ordered the SSS to allow Mr Kanu to receive visitors for three days a week – Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.“That an order is hereby made varying the condition of visitation to him in custody to 3 days a week.
He said although the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, John Tsoho, later redirected Justice Nyako to take over the case after her initial withdrawal, the court has yet to resume hearing on the matter and the hearing date has not been fixed. The lawyer stressed that the SSS does not have to determine when Mr Kanu’s lawyers visit him as long as the court order has not been set aside.
Mr Ejiofor argued that if the SSS contended that Justice Nyako’s order backing lawyers’ access to Mr Kanu was invalidated by the judge’s initial withdrawal, then the IPOB leader should be freed since the same judge ordered his detention.
