The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has accused the Department of State Services (DSS) for systematically killing its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, in detention.
In a statement by IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, the pro-Biafra group claimed that its leader is suffering from heart problems and some mineral deficiencies which require specialists’ attention.
IPOB also berated the Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government for refusing to release Nnamdi Kanu as ordered by the courts.
According to the outlawed group, the Federal Government has prevented the pro-Biafra activist from accessing his personal physicians.
IPOB said the DSS is instead patronizing roadside pharmacies for his drug, “which we see as a systematic and gradual diminishing and killing of his life and final elimination method.”
The statement reads: “Nigeria Government has deliberately planned to eliminate Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU, who is illegally detained in DSS solitary confinement.
Mazi KANU is battling heart problems and some mineral deficiencies which require medical specialists’ attention, but the Nigeria Government have refused to release him as Nigeria Courts ordered nor have they allowed him access to his personal physicians.
Instead, they have resulted in patronizing roadside pharmacies for his drug, which we see as a systematic and gradual diminishing and killing of his life and final elimination method.”
A few days ago, IPOB Legal team members and a shoppingmode brother of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu visited him in the DSS custody where he informed them that DSS agents have not given him his prescription drugs for 9 days and more.
Moreso, DSS hasn’t given him food for some days, claiming that they don’t have money for his food and drugs.
We, the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), therefore, call on the Nigeria government to release Mazi MAZI NNAMDI KANU immediately if they can’t afford his medications and food.
IPOB is more than capable to provide for our Leader the best medical services in the world and can give him any food of his choice but it is their responsibility to ensure that he feeds well with good medical attention because they are illegally renditioned him.
IPOB will not take it lightly with them if anything untoward happens to him.
They cannot succeed in breaking him down. “We in IPOB understand the recent actions of DSS as a plot to systematically diminish and finally kill Mazi Nnamdi KANU by starving him of his drugs and food.
But we wish to remind the Nigeria government and all who are remotely interested in Nigeria to bear in mind that IPOB and infact Biafrans will wage unending wars if anything untoward happens to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu This is not a threat but a promise that generations of Biafrans must keep even after Biafra Nation has been restored.”
