The 2023 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, on Thursday, alleged that he was denied access to see detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, despite granting him a formal invitation by the Department of State Services (DSS).
He made this known via X.
He wrote, “Visitation to Nnamdi Kanu botched by DSS #FreeNnamdiKanuNow I spent several hours at the #OfficialDSSNG headquarters in Abuja, I was invited by Onyendu #MaziNnamdiKanu to pay him a visit in custody.
“However, after hours of rigmarole, the DSS told me I can’t see him today. This is the second time I am being denied lawfully ordered visitation to Mazi since his illegal abduction from Kenya.

“The #officialABATregime continues to demonstrate intolerance towards lawful agitation for self-determination. Tinubu is not different from #MBuhari. #Revolutionnow.”
Recall that Kanu was arrested on October 14, 2015, on an 11-count charge bordering on terrorism, treasonable felony, managing an unlawful society, publication of defamatory matter, illegal possession of firearms and improper importation of goods, among others.
