Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has discontinued the services of his two legal counsels. Kanunta Kanu, the younger brother said in a tweet on Thursday that Kanu’s counsels, Prof Mike Ozekhome SAN and Bar. Ifeanyi Ejiofor, had been fired.

According to him, the development resulted from the lawyers’ inability to meet their client, who is being held at the Department of State Services, DSS Headquarters in Abuja.
Kanunta further accused the lawyers of allegedly preventing medical doctors from visiting his brother in DSS custody.
He said, “After Nnamdi Kanu’s case on 11th May 2023, Prof Mike Ozekhome SAN has refused to see his client in DSS headquarters Abuja even after several messages from MNK to see him.
“Secondly, for stopping the medical doctors who were to examine MNK on 5th June even when he and Bar. Ifeanyi Ejiofor was duly informed on 2nd June and MNK told them to inform his family to arrange that. “For those obvious reasons and many more, Prof Mike Ozekhome SAN and Bar. Ifeanyi Ejiofor is hereby sacked as Nnamdi Kanu’s Counsel.
“The Kanu family does appreciate your time and efforts so far, please hand over the legal documents ASAP.”
