Lead counsel to the leader of the indigenous people of Biafra, Kanu Agabi, has told the federal high court sitting in Abuja that he was not denied access to his client at the DSS facility.
At the resumed sitting before Justice James Omotosho, Mr Agabi clarified the post made by Alloy Ejimakor on social media, which had suggested that he was not allowed to see Nnamdi Kanu.
Mr Agabi noted that the post made by a member of his team was team was misleading.
Mr Agabi admitted to having arrived at the DSS facility alone, but was informed that the names of expected visitors had not arrived.
Mr Agabi insisted he was not stopped and was not angry, because he had another engagement with the Golf Club.
Justice Omotosho asked Alloy Ejimakor, who made the post, to respond
Mr Ejimakor said his understanding of the problem was that the learned Silk was denied access.
The Court was not pleased with the action of Mr Ejimakor, who, without confirmation, made such publication
Justice Omotosho urged him to refrain from such actions and also to post a Court document online as a legal practitioner.
During cross-examination, the prosecution’s 2nd witness, Mr BBB, tendered the death certificate of Ahmed Gulak.
Mr Gulak was a Special Adviser on Political Affairs to former President Goodluck Jonathan.
He was allegedly killed by suspected IPOB members in 2012.
The death certificate was admitted in evidence by the court
Counsel to Mr Kanu however told the court that they are yet to be served with some documents they have requested for from the prosecution.
The court adjourned till 21st May for continuation of hearing.
