So why should DSS deprive Mazi Nnamdi Kanu of visitors because of Imo, Kogi, and Bayelsa States governorship elections?<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv7365117748gmail-MsoNoSpacing\">\u201cThis is a calculated attempt to torture and make things difficult for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. The DSS\u2019s excuse of denying our leader visitors as ordered by the court is suspicious. We, therefore, warn DSS to be careful in handling the issues of our leader.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Monday, warned the Department of State Services, DSS,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":37327,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-41978","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-frontpage"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ipob-flag.jpeg",600,400,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ipob-flag-150x150.jpeg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ipob-flag-300x200.jpeg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ipob-flag.jpeg",600,400,false],"large":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ipob-flag.jpeg",600,400,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ipob-flag.jpeg",600,400,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ipob-flag.jpeg",600,400,false],"elegant-magazine-featured":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ipob-flag.jpeg",600,400,false],"elegant-magazine-medium":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ipob-flag.jpeg",570,380,false],"elegant-magazine-medium-small":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ipob-flag.jpeg",300,200,false],"elegant-magazine-thumbnail-small":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ipob-flag.jpeg",50,33,false]},"author_info":{"info":["Imo Trumpeta"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/?cat=3\" rel=\"category\">Frontpage<\/a>","tag_info":"Frontpage","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41978","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=41978"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41978\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":41980,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41978\/revisions\/41980"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/37327"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=41978"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=41978"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=41978"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
