We're Winning— Nnamdi Kanu's Lawyer Says As IPOB Leader's Brother Visits Separatist Leader In Detention

Ifeanyi Ejiofor, the lead counsel for the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu has said he and the group leader's brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu visited the IPOB leader in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) on Thursday. 

The lawyer also stated that the operatives of the DSS who treated them inhumanely in recent weeks were different during the latest visit to the separatist leader. 

Ejiofor disclosed this in the statement made available to SaharaReporters on Thursday night. 

He also said Kanu was elated to see his brother and thankful to his supporters. 

The statement read, "I visited our indefatigable Client, Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in the company of his younger brother- Prince Emmanuel Kanu (Fine Boy), in apparent compliance with the guidelines for our routine visits.

"Our Client- Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has always been in good spirit and his conviction has remained unwavered.

"We had far reaching discussions that pertained to our professional services, and family concerns which were all addressed. 

"We are amazed and impressed by the resoluteness of his millions of supporters and lovers of freedom. He is indeed, lacking in words to convey the depth of his gratitude and appreciation to you all.

"I am glad to inform millions of our supporters, well-wishers and Umuchineke, that following the outrage that greeted the despicable manner in which we were treated in the past weeks during these routine visits, the officials of the State Security Service (also called DSS) have made a volteface.

"We cannot hesitate to alert the world should there be any further change in their methodology, any day any time.

"Our Client- Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was very much impressed with the level of progress so far recorded by the legal team ably led by my humble self, and other people of good conscience. 

"Other details that may interest you further, shall remain private, as details of our legal strategy have been agreed to remain private. 

"We are assured that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Never you lack focus but intensify your prayers for our dear Client-Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and all of us in the legal team. 

"Forward ever and backward never, until victory is achieved. 

"We are winning. Thank you and remain blessed, Umuchineke."
