The Department of State Services, DSS, has explained why it refused Nnamdi Kanu, embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, from changing his clothes.
During his trial, which resumed on Wednesday at the Federal High Court in Abuja, Kanu was wearing his regular Fendi outfit.
During the proceedings, the Pro-Biafra leader Lead Counsel, Mike Ozekhome, complained to Justice Nyako of DSS, refusing to allow the his client to change his clothes.
Responding, Justice Nyako asked the DSS to explain why the secessionist has not changed his clothes.
Explaining, the DSS Director of Legal Service, whose name was not mentioned, said: “My Lord, clothes that were brought for the defendant had lion’s head embroiled on them, and the defendant (Mr Kanu) can’t wear clothes with a lion’s head.”

The judge subsequtly asked Kanu what type of clothes he preferred.
“I want to wear the clothes of my people, Isi Agu.” Kanu responded.
