In a video message shared on Monday, Ejiofor said Kanu has restricted public discussion of his private conversations to only his legal team and close associates.
He said, “From now henceforth, anybody who comes to see Nnamdi Kanu is forbidden from making a public broadcast or discussing the outcome of their meeting.
“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.
“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.”
