The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has on Tuesday expressed it’s doubts on the well-being of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu in the custody of Department of State Services, DSS.
This accusation is coming after the DSS refused to grant Kanu’s family and his lawyers access to him.
The group stated that the federal government would have to answer to them if anything happened to their leader while in custody.
The warning was issued in a statement made by its spokesperson Emma Powerful.
The statement reads in part: “The attention of the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great and prophet of our time has drawn to the refusal by the DSS in Abuja to allow family members and lawyer to our leader, Mazi Nnamdi KANU during the routine visitation in DSS custody on Monday. We also recall that the DSS did not also allow family members and lawyer access to our leader last week Thursday when they went to see him.
“We, are therefore, putting the world on notice, that if anything untoward happens to our leader, Mazi Nnamdi KANU, Nigeria government and its security agencies should be held responsible for the bitter consequences of such avoidable scenario. By then they will understand that our peaceful disposition is never a sign of weakness!
Our legal team visited DSS Abuja on Thursday last week but the DSS refused to allow them to see our leader. Today again, Monday 21st of February, 2022, Nigeria DSS denied them access to our leader, Mazi Nnamdi KANU.
“For now we are not sure of his state of health or if he is still alive at all. DSS should open up and tell the world why they are shielding our leader from the family and Lawyers. Have they eliminated Mazi Nnamdi KANU?”
