Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said it was no longer sure of the state of health of Kanu. The Indigenous People of Biafra has raised concern over the health condition of its detained leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
They have call on the Department of State Services to open up and tell the world why it was shielding Kanu from his family and lawyers.
The group also said the Federal Government and the security agencies should know that Kanu, as a prisoner of conscience, should not be treated anyhow, adding that the best option left was to release him unconditionally or bear the consequences of keeping him in custody for so long.
It warned that if anything untoward happened to the IPOB leader, the Federal Government and its security agencies should be held responsible for the bitter consequences of such an avoidable scenario.
The group
stated, “Our attention has been drawn to the refusal by the DSS in Abuja to
allow family members and lawyer to our leader, Nnamdi Kanu, during routine
visitation in the DSS custody on Monday.
“We also
recall that the DSS did not also allow family members and lawyers access to our
leader last Thursday when they went to see him. Our legal team visited the DSS
office in Abuja on Thursday last week, but the DSS refused to allow them to see
our leader. Again, on Monday, they denied them access to our leader.
“For now
we are not sure of his state of health, if he is still alive at all. The DSS
should open up and tell the world why they are shielding our leader from the
family and lawyers. Have they eliminated him?
“We are
informing the international community and all diplomatic missions in Abuja to
be aware of the provocative actions of the DSS. Nobody should blame IPOB for
anything, because the Federal Government and its security agencies have pushed
us to the wall enough.”
