The lawyer to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Ifeanyi Ejiofor says his client is safe and not missing in the custody of the Department of State Service.
Some reports making the round had claimed that Kanu was missing from the custody of the security agency.
Reacting to the said claims, Ejiofor said the viral reports were not true.
In a short statement made available to newsmen on Friday, Ejiofor said Kanu was accessible to some Ndigbo who visited him at the DSS custody yesterday being Thursday.
“Please UMUCHINEKE, kindly ignore the audio message being mischievously promoted/circulated by the enemies of our people, to the effect that ONYENDU MAZI NNAMDI KANU is missing in the DSS facility.
“The information is fake, a blatant lie and should be totally ignored by Ezigbo UMUCHINEKE.
“As a matter of fact, the court-ordered routine visit was conducted yesterday and ONYENDU spent time with those that visited him.
“Thank you and God bless. Always keep your eyes on the ball,” Ejiofor said.
