Kanu’s lawyer begs Tinubu to stop DSS from disobeying court orders

Special Counsel to incarcerated leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, Aloy Ejimakor, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to prevail on the Department of State Services (DSS), not to disobey several court orders which granted bail to his client.

Ejimakor who made the plea in a post on Twitter on Wednesday, said it was an abnormally for the secret police to continue to flout court orders granting Kanu freedom.

“This era of disobedience of court orders by DSS is a reminder of the most famous one it disobeyed: the 2022 order of the Federal High Court in Umuahia, declaring that the detention of MAZI NNAMDI KANU is unlawful. It lies with TINUBU (@officialABAT) to stop this serial illegality,” Ejimakor wrote.

Ejimakor raised the concerns after the DSS rearrested to former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, after Federal High Court in Lagos, had granted him million bail after a two-count charge of illegal possession of firearms was levelled against him.
