Aloy Ejimakor, the Special counsel to the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has replied the IPOB Director of State, Chika Edoziem, warning him that he (Edoziem) lacks the powers to stop Kanu’s lawyers, medical doctors or relatives from visiting the IPOB leader in detention. Ejimakor, in a release on Saturday to newsmen, noted that no one could “choose or impose visitors on Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, not even the Department of State Services, the Nigerian government, the Courts, the IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyers or relatives.”
You Cannot Stop Me From Visiting Nnamdi Kanu Or Taking Medical Doctors To Him – Lawyer, Ejimakor Warns IPOB Director, EdoziemEjimakor, in a release on Saturday to newsmen, noted that no one could “choose or impose visitors on Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, not even the Department of State Services, the Nigerian government, the Courts, the IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyers or relatives.
Ejimakor said, “My attention has been drawn to a defamatory Press Release presently in active publication and circulation, signed and distributed by one Chika Edoziem, purporting to be Leader of IPOB Department of State, stating that he has banned me from visiting my Client, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu at the DSS where he is being detained extrajudicially and unconstitutionally.
“Second, it’s also Mazi Nnamdi Kanu alone that has the power to invite a medical Doctor of his personal choice to have a visitation with him.
“This is shocking and ominous to say the least but leaving that aside for the moment, let me sound this note of warning: When you block independent Medical Doctors from visiting Mazi Nnamdi Kanu even when you knew that it was him that personally choose those Doctors and invited them, you must know that you are deliberately endangering his life. Think about it.
