The arrested leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). Nnamdi Kanu is set to meet with his lawyers.

In a tweet via his Twitter page on Friday, counsel to the IPOB leader, Ifeanyi Ejiofor said the Department of State Security (DSS) has approved an application to meet with his client.

“Update, Thankfully Our effort is yielding the desired result, We have just received a communication approving Our visit to Our Client- Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Shall keep the World posted on the outcome, immediately after the meeting, later in the Day. God is with Us,”  the tweet reads.

Kanu was arraigned in court by the secret police on Tuesday and was remanded in its custody until July 26th.

The pro-secessionist leader has been on the run since 2017 after jumping bail. He is facing several charges of terrorism, treasonable felony and illegal possession of firearms.
