EKO HOT BLOG reports that according to sources within the DSS, the agency has been concerned about the potential security implications of granting unrestricted access to Kanu.
They argue that certain individuals, including lawyers, could pose a security risk and compromise ongoing investigations.
The DSS has highlighted the volatile nature of the situation surrounding Kanu and the potential for his influence to incite unrest, particularly among his supporters.
They believe that limiting access to Kanu is a necessary measure to prevent any such incidents.
However, this decision has drawn criticism from human rights organizations and legal experts, who argue that it violates Kanu’s right to a fair trial and access to legal counsel.
They contend that the DSS’s actions could potentially jeopardize the integrity of the legal proceedings against Kanu.
