Binta Nyako, judge of an Abuja federal high court, has
ordered the Department of State Services (DSS) to allow Nnamdi Kanu, leader of
the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), to change his clothes.
Previously, Nyako had directed the DSS to allow the IPOB
leader to have a bath whenever he wants to, change his clothes, eat properly
and practice his faith.
However, at the court session on Tuesday, Mike Ozekhome,
Kanu’s lead counsel, complained that his client is still being subjected to
poor treatment in DSS custody.
He said Kanu is still being kept in solitary confinement and
that any other detainee who greets him is also kept in solitary confinement.
Shortly before adjourning the matter, Nyako reminded the
defendant that a detention facility is not a five-star hotel.
However, she reiterated her previous order that the IPOB
leader should be allowed the maximum comfort possible, including changing his
Fendi outfit with which he was brought back into the country in June 2021.
“I don’t want to see him in these clothes again. This one is
almost off-white. Also, make sure that you allow him to exercise,” Nyako added.
