He also revealed that the IPOB who was kidnapped in Kenya and sent to Nigeria has sent his heartfelt regards to his followers while urging them to remain law-abiding citizens.
“UPDATE
After weeks of speculations and uncertainties, we have finally seen our Client-Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. We can authoritatively confirm this position to the World. He is firm and stable, less the burden of solitary confinement and concomitant mental torture arising therefrom.
Though the Detaining Authority is giving him the medical attention he still requires advanced medical care, which formed a substantial part of the relief in our application before the Court. He specifically requested that we should extend his heartfelt compliment to Millions of
of his supporters worldwide and all foreign Governments and institutions who are relentlessly following up. Media houses are indeed not left out of this classification.
We are winning but your prayers are doing wonders, don’t relent, as you continue to remain law abiding.
We shall continue to keep you all in constant communication on every development around him particularly now that the visit will be more regular than before.
Thank you all and remain blessed.
Signed
Bar Ifeanyi Ejiofor
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s Lead Counsel”
