Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor, leading counsel for Nnamdi Kanu has told Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court Abuja, that the DSS has denied him and relatives of Kanu the opportunity to see him.
“I was informed authoritatively, I am speaking from the bar, that Nnamdi Kanu has been taken out of jurisdiction of this court.
“We have been denied access to Kanu in the last 10 days.
