The legal team of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Monday met with the Biafra agitator.
This is following the recent lifting of restrictions placed by the Department of State Services, DSS, by blocking Kanu from having access to his legal team after his last court hearing.
DSS had placed the restriction after Kanu caused an uproar at the Federal High Court in Abuja, where he demanded the recusal of Justice Binta Nyako.

But the court had threatened to jail DSS Director General Adeola Ajayi if the secret police failed to lift the restriction.
Amid the blockade, the House of Representatives member from Ikwuano, Umuahia North and South federal constituency, Obi Aguocha, had physically met with Kanu on Thursday, 24th of October 2024, at the DSS facility in Abuja.
After the meeting, the lawmaker said he had resolved the issue of restrictions placed by the DSS.
Consequently, Kanu’s lead counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, said the IPOB leader met with his legal team for two hours.
Posting on X, Ejimakor wrote: “Official press statement: Today, the #MnkLegalTeam met with the legal department of the DSS over the persisting restrictions on Counsel visitation to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
“We met for over two hours. Enough said for now, because the matter is sub judice.”
The Eastern Updates had reported that the Abuja Federal High Court had threatened to jail the Director General of the Department of State Services, DSS, Adeola Oluwatosin Ajayi for blocking Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, from his legal team.
In a Notice of Consequences, the court accused the DSS DG of disobeying its ruling ordering Kanu’s lawyers to have routine access to him.
The Notice of Consequences was served on the DSS DG by the Registrar of the Abuja Federal High Court and was made public by Kanu’s lead Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor.
