February 11, 2022

Though, for reasons we were not told, the officials of the DSS rejected for the umpteenth time, the change of clothes brought for him.

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, on Thursday, said some guests who visited him in detention were not cleared to do so.
 
Kanu insisted that this obvious infraction should be addressed at the appropriate forum, noting that it constitutes a violation of the order of the court.

This was made known on Thursday in a statement signed by IPOB lead counsel, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, who noted that the officials of the Department of State Services (DSS) rejected for the umpteenth time, the change of clothes brought for Kanu.
 
"We observed our routine visit to our indefatigable Client - Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu today, the 10th Day of February, 2022.
 
"Extensive interaction was held with him on mainly legal issues, as well as other engaging related matters.
 
"Though, for reasons we were not told, the officials of the DSS rejected for the umpteenth time, the change of clothes brought for him. 
 
"We, however, protested against this obvious violation of court order, and insisted on seeing the Head of the appropriate department to lodge our complaint, but Onyendu advised that we should take up the infractions at the appropriate forum in view of the fact that a positive order of the court was flouted.
 
"Also, forming part of our demand for explanations is the fact that some other guests that visited Onyendu were not hitherto cleared. Onyendu still insisted that this obvious infraction should be addressed at the appropriate forum because it constitutes a violation of positive order of the court.
 
"The visit proceeded smoothly and personal notes were taken of Onyendu's erudite views/contributions towards a successful outing come 16th day of February, 2021.
 
"Onyendu was equally briefed on the level of progress on other matters simultaneously going on in other courts affecting other young Igbo youths still in solitary confinement of the detaining authority, who are yet to be formally arraigned in court. Other details in relation to this brief shall remain private.
 
"As usual, Onyendu appreciated his ardent supporters who have remained unshaken and resolute even in the face of obvious tribulations and sabotage.
 
"Please, be reassured that this month is a month of UNCOMMON VICTORY. Do not be distracted by the desperate contrive of the enemies of UMUCHINEKE which is now obviously coming in a different dimension and being orchestrated by moles.”
 
"It is forward ever and backwards never UmuChineke. Onyendu encourages you all to remain peaceful in the conduct of your affairs, and prayerful, particularly in times like this because Victory is no longer far from us.
 
"Onyendu is fully prepared for the 16th of February's outing. You all will see him Live and Direct.
 
"Thank you all Ezigbo UMUCHINEKE and remain richly blessed. I love you all! The statement noted.
