A Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday, dismissed a N1 billion suit filed by Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, against the Federal Government and Department of State Services, DSS.
In his judgement, the presiding judge, Justice Omotosho held that Mr Kanu failed to show that the DSS and DG prevented him from seeing his counsel or that they prevented the counsel from taking notes or that they eavesdropped on their conversations.
In a counter affidavit, Mr Yamuje Benye from the DSS Legal Department, denied the allegations saying that Mr Kanu was in the safe and secure custody of the DSS and he was not detained in solitary confinement.
According to him, Mr Kanu is allowed access to his family members and team of lawyers on his visiting days without any hindrance whatsoever.

He also added that Justice Binta Nyako of a sister court, who is presiding over Kanu’s criminal trial, had always maintained that a visit to him should always be under supervision as it is the best practice all over the world.
