Barr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor, Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer, has provided an update following a visit to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra in DSS custody.
He confirmed that the IPOB leader is alive, putting to rest speculations that had been circulating since the Department of State Services (DSS) failed to appear in court on July 26.
Ejiofor, who paid Kanu a visit on Monday at the Department of State Services in Abuja, said he sent greetings to his followers around the world and that he is “strong and stable,” despite the fact that he still requires specialized medical treatment.
Ejiofor said in a statement: “After weeks of speculations and uncertainties, we have finally seen our Client-Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. We can authoritatively confirm this position to the World.
“He is firm and stable, less the burden of solitary confinement and concomitant mental torture arising therefrom. Though the detaining authority is giving him medical attention, he still requires advanced medical care, which formed substantial part of the relief in our application before the Court.
“He specifically requested that we should extend his heartfelt compliment to millions of his supporters worldwide and all foreign Governments and institutions who are relentlessly following up. Media houses are indeed not left out of this classification.
“We are winning but your prayers are doing wonders, don’t relent, as you continue to remain law abiding. We shall continue to keep you all in constant communication on every development around him particularly now that the visit will be more regular than before.”
Due to the Nigerian government’s refusal to bring Kanu in court, Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja rescheduled his trial until October 21. His case has been postponed until October 21, 2021.
