The Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB), has stated that the Department of State Services (DSS), is planning to kill Nnamdi Kanu, its leader.
Recall that Kanu was rearrested and extradited to Nigeria on Sunday, June 28, by the Nigerian government.
Subsequently, he was arraigned before Justice Binta Nyako of an Abuja Federal High Court to continue his trial but was remanded in the DSS facility.
Reacting to the development in a statement, the spokesman for IPOB, Emma Powerful, called on DSS to allow Kanu access to his lawyers; while alleging that Kanu’s health has deteriorated in DSS custody.
The statement reads: “Following the refusal of the Nigerian Government and her wicked security agency, the Department of State Services, DSS; to allow our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyers and family access to him in the dungeon of DSS secret cell; it is now confirmed that their real intention in kidnapping him and bundling him back to Nigeria is to kill him.
“The mission they could not actualise on September 14, 2017; when soldiers invaded his Afaraukwu home during Operation Python Dance is what they want to actualise now.
“His health has been deteriorating in the DSS cell; as he has refused to eat their food since almost one week they kidnapped him.
“We demand that DSS should allow him access to his lawyers; and family members for this is his lawful right.”
