Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu has warned his visitors against making their discussion with him public.
Kanu also dispelled the rumour that he collects money from individuals and groups who visit at the Sokoto State Correctional Centre where he is currently serving his sentence.
Recall that Kanu was sentenced to life imprisonment by a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja following his conviction of terrorism charges against him.
Following the order of the court, the IPOB leader was immediately transferred to a Sokoto Correctional Centre to serve his time.
However, speaking on behalf of his client, Nnaemeka Ejiofor, his lawyer said Kanu has issued an order preventing any of his visitors from making public statements or broadcasting their discussions.
In a viral video, Ejiofor said, “From now henceforth, anybody who comes to see Nnamdi Kanu is forbidden from making public broadcast or discussing the outcome of their meeting.”
According to the lawyer, any message from Kanu would be made public through Emma Powerful, the spokesperson for the IPOB.
“If he has a message, it will be sent to whoever is readily affected but for the purposes of making a public statement, he has restricted it to his lawyers only or Emma Powerful.
“He has also stated that nobody has ever paid money to see him from his inquiries and visiting him is not a money-making venture for anybody,” Ejiofor stated.
In addition, Ejiofor stated that, anyone, whether an individual or a group, who wishes to visit the IPOB leader must adhere to the established protocols of the Sokoto State Correctional Centre by providing a valid means of identification among other requirements.
“Whoever wants to visit him should follow the established protocol of the Sokoto Correctional facility which is that you bring your means of identification, passport photograph and come to the Sokoto Correctional centre where you will be given a form to fill and with that form officials will screen you and give it to him for his final approval,” he added.
