The Department of State Services, DSS, has blocked the legal team of Nnamdi Kanu from having any form of access to him.
Disclosing this, Aloy Ejimakor who is Nnamdi Kanu’s lead counsel, said the DSS may have cancelled all future visits of the legal team.
Addressing a press conference in Abuja, Ejimakor said Kanu may never be seen again because his solitary confinement is absolute.

Ejimakor said DSS’ action was in retaliation for Kanu’s actions during his last proceedings at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
A few days ago, the pro-Biafra agitator had caused an uproar when he challenged Justice Binta Nyako to recuse herself from his ongoing proceedings because he lacked confidence in her.
Despite an objection from lawyers of the Federal Government, Justice Nyako stepped down from the case.
Ejimakor said: “Today, in violation of subsisting court orders and the Constitution, the DSS blocked the legal team of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from meeting with him at the detention facility.
“It appears that the DSS has cancelled all future visitations to #MNK as a retaliation against #MNK “for chasing away Justice Binta Nyako from the case and causing her embarrassment.”
“What this means is that the DSS, acting on behalf of the federal government of Nigeria, has unlawfully isolated #MNK from his lawyers, thus making his solitary confinement absolute. I don’t know when next, if ever, it may be possible to see #MNK again.”
Obidigbo pointed out that keeping the IPOB leader in prison is not beneficial, emphasizing that his imprisonment is having a detrimental effect on the economy of the South East and the socio-political stability of Nigeria.
He advised President Tinubu to retract his promise to continue in the footsteps of former President Muhammadu Buhari, noting that Buhari’s tactics were not beneficial to the socio-economic survival of Nigeria.
