produce Radio Biafra Director,Nnamdi Kanu who was arrested last Monday
on his return from United kingdom, arraigned secretly at Magistrate
Court,Wuse 11, and granted bail under stringent bail conditions.
Nnamdi's Lawyer,Mr.Egechukwu Obetta,who spoke to Vanguard in his Enugu
office Saturday,said,"we have fulfilled his bail conditions.
Although the bail conditions were stringent which required the
Certificate of Occupancy of a landed property within Abuja
municipality, a level 16 officer in the Ministry, which we eventually
met in full.
"The documents of the landed property was transmitted to the DSS
prosecuting counsel by the court clerk. On Friday, we expected that
the DSS would have verified the authenticity of the landed property
documents.
"As a matter of practice,the verification does not last beyond 24
hours. As at Friday, DSS did not transmit the verification to the
court.
"On that same Friday,we brought the situation to the court's attention
upon which the court issued Form 36(FCT) ordering the DSS to produce
the prisoner(Nnamdi). The Form 36 was issued by Justice Ahmed Usman
Shuaibu dated October 23 ordering DSS to produce the prisoner.
"Upon the issuance of this Form 36, the court ordeal went to execute
the order but came back unsuccessful. He was unable to produce the
prisoner. The DSS latter granted me access to my client who is hale
and hearty. He is in good spirit. His condition is very good and has
also been granted access to his medical doctor.
"He(Nnamdi) has instructed me to enjoin his followers to remain calm
and be law abiding citizens. The DSS instead of obeying court order to
remand my client in prison custody,choose to remand him in their
detention facility inorder to stall Form 36 ordering them to produce
my client".
