Nnamdi Kanu’s Lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor has alleged that some officers of the Department of State Security Services, DSS, forced him and some others to wear slippers before meeting with their client.
Ejiofor, disclosed that he and some other lawyers visited Kanu in the DSS custody on Thursday.
He made this revelation in a statement titled ‘Update on today’s visit being 26th day of August 2021.’
The statement read in part; “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.
