BREAKING: DSS grants Nnamdi Kanu freedom to meet family

The Department of State Services, DSS, finally granted detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, access to his family.

On Monday, Kanu met with his brother, Emmanuel Kanu who was accompanied by his legal team to the DSS headquarters in Abuja.

The meeting was confirmed by Kanu’s lead counsel, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, in a series of tweets.

According to Ejiofor: “We just concluded today’s routine visit on a very sound note. What made today’s visit unique is that today marks the first Day Our Client -Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, is setting his eyes on his sibling.

“In my company during the Family’s maiden visit to Our Client. Our Client is Prince Emmanuel Kanu (Fine Boy), the Representative of Our Client’s family.

“Our Client- Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is very strong in spirit.

“You will hear the rest from Prince Emmanuel Kanu.”

Kanu has been in DSS detention after he was rearrested and repatriated from an undisclosed African country.

In December 2020, Kanu announced that IPOB had organized the Eastern Security Network (ESN) which was supposed to defend southeastern Nigerians from bandits and armed Fulani herders.

Kanu later gave all the governors of southeast Nigeria 14 days to ban open-grazing, threatening to deploy the ESN to enforce a ban if the authorities did not do so.
