The Department of State Services, DSS, on Friday, prevented Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, from his legal team.
This was disclosed by Kanu’s Lead Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor via a post on X.
Ejimakor disclosed that DSS’s latest action was in continued disobedience to a court ruling ordering Kanu access to his legal team.

He vowed to continue all suspended legal processes with much vigour following the latest action.
Ejimakor wrote: “Today, in a blatant & continuing disobedience of extant court order, the DSS barred the Legal Team of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from conducting a visitation with him.
“For this reason, all suspended legal actions to enforce compliance will proceed apace and with much vigour.”
In October, the DSS had denied Kanu access to his lawyers.
Kanu has been locked up by the DSS since he was rearrested and subjected to extraordinary rendition in 2021.
Following this action, the Abuja Federal High Court threatened to jail DSS Director General, Adeola Ajayi for contempt.
It had been previously reported that 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.
