A federal high court in Abuja has warned Adeola Ajayi, the director-general (DG) of the Department of State Services (DSS), against disobeying court-ordered visitation for Nnamdi Kanu.
Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has been in DSS custody since he was re-arrested in Kenya and extradited to Nigeria in 2021.
He has been standing trial on a seven-count charge bordering on treasonable felony.
Kanu’s legal team has severally accused the DSS of not allowing its members to have access to the IPOB leader.
The court had ordered the DSS to always grant Kanu access to his lawyers — not exceeding five persons on every visiting day.
On Friday, the registrar of the federal high court in Abuja issued “form 48 notice of consequences of disobedience to the order of court” against DSS director-general.
The notice warned the DSS boss that he would be guilty of contempt of court and would be liable to imprisonment if he disobeyed the court-ordered visitations.
