Nnamdi Kanu’s lead lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor said the IPOB leader is still being held in Abuja by the Department of State Services (DSS).

Ejiofor said this on Monday in an update on the legal case of Kanu and as concerns mounted over his whereabouts.

The case could not proceed today, because the DSS failed to produce him.

This led to speculations that the DSS had taken him out of Abuja.

But in a statement on Monday, Ejiofor debunked the speculations.

He said: “Our discrete findings confirmed that Our Client- Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was not taken out of Abuja to an unknown destination.

“Kindly ignore the rumour mongers.”

The court headed by Justice Binta Nyako ordered that the DSS must not only bring Kanu to court on 21 October, but must also allow his lawyers to see him.
