He’s Sick — IPOB Demands Unconditional Release Of Nnamdi Kanu
The IPOB leader has been in the custody of the Department of State Service (DSS) since he was extradited from Kenya in June 2021 and charged with treasonable felony.
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has called for the unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu, its detained leader, over his deteriorating health condition.
The IPOB leader has been in the custody of the Department of State Service (DSS) since he was extradited from Kenya in June 2021 and charged with treasonable felony.
In a statement on Wednesday, Emma Powerful, the IPOB spokesperson, said Kanu’s life is in danger at the DSS custody.
The separatist group accused the federal government of intentionally “provoking IPOB” by refusing to free its leader even when the courts have ordered his release.
“The global family of IPOB once again calls for the unconditional release of our leader from DSS solitary confinement over his deteriorating health condition,” the statement reads.
“The federal government is intentionally provoking IPOB by refusing to release our leader even when the Nigerian and international courts have ordered his unconditional release.
“IPOB wishes to reiterate that the life of our leader, Nnamdi Kanu, is in danger in the solitary confinement of the DSS in Abuja.
“We have persistently called on the federal government to release our leader, as both international and local law institutions have ordered his release.
“Kanu has been detained in solitary confinement for over three years. Although no court in Nigeria has found him guilty, he is being persecuted by the tribal bigot government of Nigeria.
“President Bola Tinubu, please note that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is sick, and something terrible can happen to him if he is not released.
“Nothing must happen to him in the DSS solitary confinement in Abuja. As John F. Kennedy said, those who make peaceful change impossible will make violent change inevitable.”
