Ifeanyi Ejiofor, the lead counsel to the leader for the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has accused the Department of State Service of subjecting Kanu’s lawyers to treatments meted out to hardened criminals on visits to their client who is in detention.

Ejiofor, who said they visited Kanu in the DSS custody on Thursday’e disclosed this in a statement on Thursday titled ‘Update on today’s visit being 26th day of August 2021.’

The statement reads partly, “Lawyers on this visit were searched in a manner akin to a situation where hardened criminals are being searched for possible incriminating objects.

“They were traumatised not only because they were inhumanly treated, but the lawyers were further dehumanised after this embarrassing and unwarranted frisking, by being allowed to wear only slippers, after being divested of their shoes, reading glasses and writing materials to visit their client.”

The lawyer stated that the situation called for immediate intervention of the court because the visits were ordered by the court.

What kind of barbaric nonsense is that? DSS now behaving like regular policemen under Buhari. Same for EFCC.

Meanwhile, this is my first FTC on Nairaland. I dedicate it to my fellow Nairalanders.

Shame on aka Nlpolicewoman aka eriggs.

Slippers?

Nigeria en...So so funny things just dey happen...

How person go go law school finish, graduate finish,called to bar finish, manage to get client finish,las las,Dem go force am to wear bathroom slippers enter court ontop him law suit to go defend him client

But why...

Hmmm

Make e no put bomb for shoes na


In my own opinion though, I think the world is so sophisticated to take any chances. I want to believe DSS is trying to ensure any form of technical gadgets, e.g. Camera and recording gadgets is not on them.

..but then, citizens don't trust the DSS, ideally, this shouldn't be a news

Lawyers will keep feeding the media so that their own money will complete as usual..... .
I just pray the Govt do normal... We have more pressing issues than Kanu matter..... The country is her worse state... And I bliv Kanu is not the cause of hike in food, and other materials.
The most incompetent tenure.... The greatest mistake of Nigerians is the Govt....

I met a northerner here in Akwa Ibom and I called Buhari is brother becos he made things hard, the aboki man rejected and said Buhari is nt his brother... Imagine if a northerner wud say such, how much of a southerner..



Peace

DSS need to redesign their Modus Operandi.

No single report of them being civil in the course of duty. Should it continue that way, the fear and much needed prestige bestowed on them as the most tactical security unit will be irrecoverably lost.

The same treatment given to zakzakay is what baba would give to KANU

He would be kept in detention until he leaves office in 2023

Wow imagine

Emee Enu mee ani uche chukwu ga eme

Good job by the DSS.


Do not trust anyone associated with Kanu, they might sneak in something that will make him sick, so they can get him bailed on health ground.

Even the western UN don tire for naija
