IPOB Raises The Alarm Over Nnamdi Kanu’s ill Health

INDIGENOUS Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) has raised the alarm over the deterio­rating ill health of its leader and Director of Radio Bi­afra, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu who is being detained by security agents.

The group alleged a plot by security agents to keep Kanu in the same cell with suspected Boko Haram members, saying that de­spite his health condition, he has been undergoing serious torture in the hands of Department of Security Services (DSS).

In a statement signed by IPOB’s National Co­ordinator, Chidiebere On­wudiwe and Publicity Sec­retary, Emma Powerful, IPOB warned the Federal Government and security agents that there would be unsavoury consequences if anything happens to Kanu.

The IPOB called the attention of world pow­ers like Britain, United Nations, African Union, United States of America, Israel, Russia, France as well as other human rights bodies such as Amnesty In­ternational to intervene in the inhuman treatment of Kanu before it is too late.

Kanu was arrested last year at the Lagos Airport and was taken to Abuja by men of the DSS where he was freed by the Fed­eral High Court sitting in Abuja but was re arrested and charged for treasonable felony by the Federal Gov­ernment.
