Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, on Wednesday described as false allegations that he broke the Department of State Service protocol when he visited the leader of the proscribed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, on Monday.
Kalu gave the explanation in a statement which he made available in reaction to the claims by Ifeanyi Ejiofor, the lawyer of the detained IPOB leader.
The former governor of Abia State also said the picture that was circulated with the story of his visit was not a recent one and that it was not taken on Monday.
Part of the statement read, “It has come to my notice, the statement issued by one of the counsels to Maazi Nnamdi Kanu, Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor, in which I am very disappointed in him.
“Several people, including Barrister Ejiofor, have tried to misinterpret and misinform the public about my visit to my brother, Nnamdi.
“For the records, the Department of State Services (DSS) did not break any protocol during my visit as I fulfilled all the requirements expected of me before I saw Nnamdi.
“The DSS affirmed that I cannot see Nnamdi without the application of his lawyers which I diligently did.
