The imprisoned leader of a militant group active in Nigeria's oil region hasn't been granted access to his lawyers, his group said Friday.
A court last week ordered Nigerian authorities to allow Henry Okah visits from his family and legal counsel, but his Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta said in an e-mail statement Friday that has yet to happen.
Government officials couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
The militants said they would file another court case seeking to force officials to allow lawyers to visit the leader held on accusations of gun running and other crimes. The militants are threatening further "anarchy" in Nigeria's already chaotic oil-producing region if their demands aren't met.
