Nnmadi Kanu exchanging words with the DSS during one of his court sessions |
Biafra Pro group (The Indigenous People of Biafra) IPOB has raised a serious allegation of the DSS planing to assasinate Mr Nnamdi Kanu and some workers of the DSS who are now having sympathy towards Nnamdi Kanu.
The statement which was published on the website of a popular Biafra media organization (Biafra Herald) alleged that Nnamdi Kanu, its leader, is being tortured in detention by the Department of State Services (DSS), with the final aim to “secretly execute” him alongside others.
It went further to explain that Mr Nnamdi Kanu is seriously sick (from ulcer) and needs urgent medical attention which both his lawyers and pregnant wife have complained about.
It says and I quote "The director of DSS and Buhari are planning to kill some Igbo-Biafrans working for the DSS in other to secretly execute Nnamdi Kanu,”.
“For months now reports have been coming to us on how Nnamdi Kanu is been tortured in the dungeon of the DSS. Nnamdi Kanu is reported to be very ill and needs urgent care and treatment but the DSS on the order of Buhari have refused to grant him any treatment.
“Some Igbo-Biafrans who are members of the DSS have expressed their displeasure and showed sympathy towards the animalistic manner Nnamdi Kanu is being treated which has led to Buhari and the director of DSS secretly plotting ways and possible manners to murder them.
The group also went further to warn President Buhari to release him (Nnamdi Kanu), and also to stop torturing him saying any harm done to him, will result to a war Nigeria can’t handle.
He said “We are calling on all IPOB members to get ready for action as instructions will be given by our deputy. We are calling all coordinators to start mobilizing all IPOB members and be on alert.”

Info 247 Plus spoke with the UK trained lawyer representing Nnamdi Kanu, Mr Vincent Obetta,via social media, but he failed to state the present medical condition of his client.
He said “I don’t know his present condition or state of health because they (DSS) have refused to give me access to see him. I have made every effort to see him since 23rd of December, but I have not been given access.
"So, I don’t know his condition now. If he is being tortured, I don’t know, but I got the rumour that he is being tortured. I am still pressing to get access to him.”

You will recall that in December 2015, Adeniyi Ademola, justice of the federal high court, Abuja, had ordered the release of Kanu unconditionally, but surprisingly the DSS failed to comply with the order.
Instead, it filed a suit against him before Ahmed Mohammed, another judge, at the federal high court, Abuja.
