In light of the flagrant disobedient to court order by the Department of State Security service, DSS, and refusal to unconditionally release the controversial Biafra Radio Director, Nnamdi Kanu, the Indigenous People of Biafra ,IPOB, has raised alarm over plot to ‘secretly execute” the Pro-Biafra agitator.
In a strongly worded statement, the group which is campaigning for an independent state for the Igbo also alleged that Kanu was “very ill” and needed urgent medical attention.
Buhari, had on December 30, 2015 while responding to why the DSS has continued to disregard court orders instructing the release of the Former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki and Kanu, insisted that the magnitude of their alleged crimes was too grievous that government cannot afford to release them on bail.
Earlier in December 2015, Justice Adeniyi Ademola, of the Federal High Court in Abuja, had ordered the release of Kanu unconditionally, but the DSS failed to comply with the order.
While uncovering the plot, IPOB said; “Information getting to us now is that 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 towards the treatment of Nnamdi Kanu, this resulting to Buhari and the director of DSS secretly plotting way to murder them.“This information got to us is from a very reliable source and our advice to Buhari is to release Nnamdi Kanu, and also to stop torturing him because any harm done to him, will result to a war Nigeria can’t handle.“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.”
Confirming this, Vincent Obetta, lawyer to Kanu said: “I don’t know his state of health. They have refused to give me access to see him. I have made every effort to see him since 23 of December, but I have not been given access. So, I don’t know is condition now.”
“If he is being tortured, I don’t know, but I got the rumour that he is being tortuanred. I am still pressing to get access to him.” he said.
