DSS May Have Killed Nnamdi Kanu – IPOB Alleges

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has expressed concern about the condition of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, who is being held by the Department of State Services.

Kanu may have been assassinated in DSS custody, according to IPOB’s spokeswoman, Emma Powerful.

The failure of the secret police to produce the Biafra agitator, according to Powerful, indicates that he may be dead.

Powerful said in a statement that despite Kanu’s failing health, DSS had denied him access to his physicians.

According to Powerful: “We are no longer comfortable with this development. We have enough grounds to suspect foul play.

“With the failure of DSS to produce our leader in court today without any cogent reason and coupled with the torture meted out to him since his abduction in Kenya, we are worried about the safety of our Leader.

“The failure of DSS to produce our leader in court today confirms our fear over the uncertainty concerning his health.

“Considering his deteriorating health condition since he was kidnapped and the refusal of DSS to grant him access to his personal physicians, it is possible that our Leader may have been killed.”

Kanu has been held in protective custody by the DSS since his re-arrest and detention a few weeks ago.

After his return, Justice Binta Nyako of an Abuja Federal High Court in Abuja ordered his remand by the secret police till the start of his trial today, Monday.

However, due to logistical issues, the DSS was unable to bring the IPOB chief in court.

However, Kanu’s lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, stated that the Nigerian government may not have been able to present Kanu in court due to a lack of evidence.
