Court issues strong order over Nnamdi Kanu's outfit, daily routine in SSS detention

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja ordered the State Security Services (SSS) to ensure that Kanu gets a change of cloth.

The order from the judge followed a complaint by Ozekhome who had informed the court that his client was constantly being subjected to poor treatment while in the custody of the SSS.

He told the court that Kanu is being kept in solitary confinement at the SSS facility located inside the agency's headquarters in Abuja. The senior lawyer alleged that other detainees who dare greet the IPOB leader are also kept in solitary confinement by the secret police as punishment.
