Mr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor, counsel to leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu, has accused the Department of State Security, DSS, of killing nine persons who had visited his client in prison last year.
Ejiofor alleged that the DSS arrested and killed the persons, who are also members of IPOB. He said they have been missing since last year after they visited their leader in detention.
The lawyer made the allegation at the Federal High Court, Abuja, where Kanu is facing charges bothering on treasonable felony.
He is charged alongside three others, David Nwawuisi, Benjamin Madubugwu and Chidiebere Onwudiwe.
Ejiofor also accused the agency of being too dramatic in its dealings with the defendants, praying the court to take a stand on the matter.
