It’s a lie, we treat him well and he has access to his doctors – DSS speaks on claims of poisoning Nnamdi Kanu

The Department of State Services, DSS, has dismissed claims of poisoning the embattled leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu, in its custody.

DSS claims that Kanu is being treated well in its facility and so cannot be denied access to his doctor

According to them, the issue with Kanu was political; hence Nigerians should discountenance the report of poisoning.

This was according to a statement by an operative of the DSS on the ground of anonymity

He said: “Nnamdi Kanu can’t be denied access to his doctors, and what is happening to him is political. Even if the prisoner is a hardened criminal, we treat him well, so Kanu’s case is not different.

“There is no truth in the claim that DSS is poisoning Kanu; it’s all a lie – he has access to his doctors. However, he has his medical issues, but he is not denied access to his doctors.

“You know we should not expect anything good from IPOB, their issue and agenda are against the government so disregard all these reports.”
