Ifeanyi Ejiofor, the lead counsel to Nnamdi Kanu the leader of the proscribed Independent People of Biafra has said the embattled secessionist had begun a judicial process to ensure Britain fulfills its statutory obligation of rendering consular assistance to him immediately.
He who issued a statement on his Facebook timeline said that contrary to social media reports the British High Commission is yet to visit his client in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).
Ejiofor said: “ Neither the British High Commissioner in Nigeria nor any one representing/acting for them has visited our client- Mazi Nnamdi Kanu at DSS detention facility, where he is currently being held incommunicado. I can authoritatively confirm this position to you today.
“Stop believing the falsehood being dished out in the public space by mischief makers. The purveyors of fake news have always been at it.
“When I talk about a collaboration between the British Government and those that kidnapped our client in Kenya, I meant every word spoken there.
“Thankfully, force of law has been activated through judicial process, before the British Court to ensure that their statutory obligation over their Nationale is asserted, without further ado.”
