The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has raised the alarm over what it described as the systematic killing of its leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in the DSS detention in Abuja.
The group claimed Kanu has heart problems and some mineral deficiencies which require specialists’ attention, adding the Federal Government had refused to release him as ordered by the courts.
In a statement by IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, the group also alleged the government has prevented their ailing leader access to his personal physicians.
“Instead, they have resulted in patronizing roadside pharmacies for his drug, which we see as a systematic and gradual diminishing and killing of his life and final elimination method.
“Nigeria Government has deliberately planned to eliminate Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU, who is illegally detained in DSS solitary confinement.”
”Mazi KANU is battling heart problems and some mineral deficiencies which require medical specialists’ attention, but the Nigeria Government have refused to release him as Nigeria Courts ordered nor have they allowed him access to his personal physicians. Instead, they have resulted in patronizing roadside pharmacies for his drug, which we see as a systematic and gradual diminishing and killing of his life and final elimination method.”
