I Was Mercilessly Beaten, Abused, Tortured In Kenya — Nnamdi Kanu Tells Lawyer, Ejiofor

Nnamdi Kanu, the incarcerated leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, spoke with his lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, about his experience in Kenya, alleging he was “mercilessly abused and tortured” there before being extradited to Nigeria.

During an interview, Ejiofor validated Kanu’s statements, saying that Kanu told him about how he was held for roughly eight days in a private apartment rather than in Kenya’s official detention centers before being extradited to Nigeria.

In an interview with Arise Television, which was watched by SaharaReporters, the IPOB leader’s lawyer, Ejiofor, confirmed this, saying that the Kenyan authorities would be sent to the International Criminal Court to answer for the cruelty.

The lawyer said, “There was a clear collaboration between the Kenyan government and the Nigerian government and I am happy that they are now denying the fact that Kanu was arrested in there.

“But by the time we finish with them at the International Criminal Court, they will never remain the same. He was arrested at the airport there and he was taken to an unknown residence. He was subjected to inhuman treatment.

“Kanu was tortured, maltreated and mercilessly beaten, as confirmed by him to us. After spending eight days in their illegal custody, they now beckoned to the Nigerian government. Kanu was lifeless and unconscious by the time they were bringing him to Nigeria.

“To tell you the level of their conspiracy and the desperation to get him, they brought him here on a Sunday and the Federal Government is fully aware that I am his legal counsel.

“He was brought into the country and inflicted with several injuries and he is having a number of medical issues today. It was at the behest of the Federal government that Kenya was doing those things. This is against all international laws. We are going to address an international court at that level.”
