According to THIS DAY, the separatist leader is being tried for alleged treason by the federal government, but the court has ordered that Kanu’s family and his lawyer should be allowed to see him twice a week, specifically on Mondays and Thursdays.
Emmanuel said the flimsy excuses the DSS gave for denying him access to his brother has triggered the alarm bell that the IPOB leader might not be in good health, and his detainers are trying to hide it for whatever reason.
According to him, “It goes to show that Kanu’s life is in grave danger,” insisting that “it remains the order of the court that Kanu (IPOB leader) must be seen twice weekly, Mondays and Thursdays.”
He challenged the DSS to prove that Kanu is still alive and in good health by allowing access to him as directed by a court, as every institution, group, and individual are bound to obey court orders to avoid creating a society of anarchy.
In his reaction to the DSS flagrant disobedience to the court order, Kanu’s special counsel, Mr. Aloy Ejimakor, took to his Twitter handle to condemn the action and demanded explanations from the secret police. jamb results

“Last Thursday, we were not allowed visitation to Onyendu (leader) because, according to DSS, the ‘special squad’ in charge of visitations went on ‘outside assignment’,” he lamented.
Ejimakor stated that it was the same DSS that “asked us to come back on Monday (today). Today, we are at the DSS office, and they are telling us the same thing. We won’t agree!”
