Counsels to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu,Ifeanyi Ejiofor and Aloy Ejimakor has accused the Department of State Services, DSS, of keeping the proscribed IPOB leader in harsh, degrading and inhumane condition.
Stating that they were acting under instruction of their client to make the following information public, the duo, said that Kanu, is ” in solitarily confined to a very tiny cell twenty-three (23) hours of the day without access to sunlight and any social interactions whatsoever. He believes that this is aimed at inflicting extreme emotional and mental distress on him and breaking him psychologically.
” That any detainee who encounters and greets him during the single hour he is allowed outside his cell is promptly put in detention.
In a reaction, Dr Peter Afunanya, Public Relations Officer, Department of State Services, National Headquarters, Abuja, said the DSS is not likely to make any public statement on a matter that is sub judice. Besides, any aggrieved party(ies) can seek redress as maybe appropriate in law.
