DSS And Ozekhome Fight Over Nnamdi Kanu’s Clothes

Nnamdi Kanu
The clothing of Nnamdi Kanu has triggered a topic at the Federal High Court in Abuja. 

Gatekeepers News reports that Kanu, the leader of the Indigenious People of Biafra, caused contention at the Federal High Court when he appeared on the same Fendi designers clothes he had been wearing since June last year when he was arrested.

Justice Binta Nyako had on Tuesday ordered Nnamdi Kanu to change his clothes before appearing in court today. However, the IPOB leader remained in his Fendi designers clothes.

when the matter was called up on Wednesday, the Department of State Services (DSS) said provision was made for a change of clothing for Kanu, but he rejected them on grounds that he preferred the designers Fendi he had on.

The prosecution counsel, Shuaibu Labaran, said; “My lord, based on your order yesterday, we provided the defendant with a new Orthopedic mattress, pillows and blankets.

“As for his appearance, he chose to wear this particular one because he said that it is designers”.

However, Kanu’s lead counsel, Chief Mike Ozekhome(SAN) told the court that it was not true that his client insisted on wearing his designer’s clothes.

“My Lord, what happened was that by the time proceedings ended yesterday, and because it was not his visiting day, we were not able to pass to him, some clothes we obtained for him.

“We even discussed it with him this morning and he said that on the next visiting day he would want to have the new clothes”, Ozekhome added.

He, however, commended the DSS for providing the IPOB leader with new mattress and pillows.

“I want to commend the DSS and the Court for ensuring that it was done”, Ozekhome said.
