Stop starving, Maltreating Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB tells DSS

Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has accused the Department of States Services of starving and maltreating it’s leader, Nnamdi Kanu in their custody.

The group’s Director of Media and Publicity, Emma Powerful, stated this in a statement, on Saturday.

The secessionist group alleged that the DSS has denied Kanu food, for three days running.

The group also called on the security agency to, as a matter of urgency, transfer Kanu to Kuje prison or any other correctional centre, where suspects awaiting trials are kept.

The group also accused the Department of State Services, DSS, of using hunger and starvation as a tool to eliminate their leader.

Powerful said; “We are the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of our great leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU. We wish to place the world on notice over the continued maltreatment and humiliation of our Leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in the custody of the Department of State Services, DSS, custody in Abuja.

“The evil and compromised Nigeria DSS security agent has decided to use starvation and hunger strategy to eliminate our leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU in the custody.

“They have continued to confine him to a solitary cell under harsh conditions since his rendition to Nigeria in June. Solitary confinement is not correctional centres, they should send him to Kuje prison pending his court dates.”
