IPOB WARNS BUHARI AND APC TO RELEASE KANU

POB potesters grounding Onitsha, the commercial city of Anambra State, South-east Nigeria, during their 1 Million March, to call for the immediate release of their leader, Nnamdi Kanu. Kanu was arrested by the Department of State Services, DSS, on his way into Nigeria from UK

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has raised an alarm, accusing the DSS of denying its Director, Nnamdi Kanu medical treatment several times, claiming that attempts by his doctors to attend to him  have been  rebuffed by the DSS.


IPOB  Media and Publicity Officer, Mr. Emma Powerful, while addressing newsmen yesterday in Nnewi, alleged that the Federal Government through the DSS has perfected plans to systematically kill Kanu in the DSS cell by denying him doctors’ attention and subjecting him to torture on daily basis.

“Information from a reliable DSS source revealed that the Federal Government is also planning to transfer Mr. Kanu to a particular cell in the country where members of Boko Haram are detained, and it is their plan to kill him there,” he said

IPOB  therefore warned the All Progressives Congress, APC, government in Nigeria and President Buhari to release Kanu without further delay and also allow him to see his doctors.

“President Buhari and DSS will have no defence if they  allow Mr. Kanu to die in the hands of DSS, more so when two competent courts of jurisdiction have granted him bail. To be forewarned is to be forearmed. A word is enough for the wise. Nobody is sure of his health condition now, and therefore, Kanu should be released and allowed to see his doctors.

“The present administration’s continued detention of Kanu when the courts had granted him bail is a flagrant abuse of power and lawlessness on the part of President Buhari and the DSS, and Nigeria is gradually  reverting to dictatorship.

“The President is behaving as if he is above the law. Why can’t he respect the law if he has regards  for  democratic government, or is this  the change he is talking about, going from lawfulness to lawlessness?” he asked.
