The Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB has accused Federal government of Nigeria of systematically killing their leader, Nnamdi Kanu who is in DSS custody of through poison.
In a press release on Friday by the group’s Media and Publicity Secretary Comrade Emma Powerful IPOB stated that “the secret police wants to eliminate Mazi Nnamdi Kanu through a silent and systematic process of gradual starvation of giving him only bread and water twice a day and drugs abuse by providing him insufficient medication for his known ailment while in their solitary confinement facility in Abuja.”
“We, the global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) led and commanded by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wish to bring to the attention of the general public the clandestine plan of the Nigeria Government using its Secret security Agency the DSS to eliminate the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra Mazi Nnamdi KANU currently detained in their custody through poisoning, drug abuse and starvation.
“The secret police wants to eliminate Mazi Nnamdi KANU through a silent and systematic process of gradual starvation of giving him only bread and water twice a day and drugs abuse by providing him insufficient medication for his known ailment while in their solitary confinement facility in Abuja.
“Their intention is to experiment and replicate the starvation of 1967-1970 on the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra.
“For the First time we have seen Nnamdi KANU complained for his life. He complained very sadly that he is dying slowly. He also complained bitterly that the DSS has subjected him to drug abuse as medication required for two weeks are provided for only 8 days.”
Explaining further, IPOB stated that “he complained that he hasn’t been allowed to see any doctor since second week of December 2022 and DSS has refused to take him to the doctor in spite of his deteriorating health.
“He says he feels his internal organs are badly affected yet the DSS have refused to take him to a hospital.
“He also complained bitterly about pain and sound in his left ear where he was tortured in Kenya before being Extraordinarily Renditioned to Nigeria.
“Our leader complained that if he lies down whatever he ate comes out from his mouth. He also said his intestines are bringing odours from his mouth.
“He says he is afraid he may not survive it but God Almighty Chukwu Okike Abiama will help him to survive it. He also complained about poor feeding which is worsening his health.
“Most times he is fed with only bread morning and night as DSS said feeding him is getting too expensive. It’s on record that DSS refused One Million Naira (N1,000,000) that IPOB leadership gave them to provide adequate medication and feeding to our leader.
“It’s obvious that our leader has been poisoned by DSS and allowed to die gradually.
“Irrespective of his current ordeal our leader expressed confidence in the Biafran Struggle and charged the members of this noble movement to remain resolute and never engage in any form of criminality.
“We are astonished that all the Igbo Leaders are silent at MNK’s illegal detention.
“All Nigerians especially lawyers should know that a bad legal precedent is being set as any body can be detained even without a charge citing his case as judicial precedent.
“We are reminding the Institute for Economics and Peace to know that if anything untoward happens to our leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU they should prepare to accept more dollars for their 2023 reports because we shall no longer care.
“We cannot afford to allow Nigeria Government to systematically eliminate our leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU who is illegally detained against Court verdicts.”
Finally, IPOB stressed that “the World is keeping mute now but we are going to make them talk when the time comes. Igbo politicians who are trying to trade Mazi Nnamdi KANU for election will also say had we known.
“IPOB never said that their shambolic selection process they called election will not hold in our territory but if they allow anything happens to our leader then let everyone prepare for unavoidable consequences.
“IPOB is still civil and peaceful but the consequences of not releasing Mazi Nnamdi KANU alive and well will be left to be imagined.
“True and conscientious leaders, Elders, Traditional Rulers, Religious Leaders, business men and women must rise up and seek justice or everyone will face the consequences of leaving Mazi Nnamdi KANU to die in the evil hands of the DSS through hunger, drugs abuse and poisoning.
“We are urging the American Government and her compromised Embassy in Abuja, UK Government and her compromised High Commissioner in Abuja, UN Office in Abuja, Australia Embassy in Abuja, Israeli Government and her Embassy in Abuja, German Government and her Embassy in Abuja, Canadian Government and her Embassy, Russia Government and her Embassy in Abuja.
“AU office in Abuja, EU Office in Abuja, ECOWAS in Abuja, French Government and her Embassy in Abuja, Italian Government and her Embassy in Abuja, Blair Global Institute, Amnesty International Nigeria, Human Rights Watch Organisation in Nigeria and other reputable Organisations across the globe to bear us witness and never blame IPOB for any eventuality.
“It is obvious that DSS has poisoned our leader and allowed him to die gradually.
“Allowing Nigeria Government to eliminate our leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU, a non violent freedom fighter will definitely come with unimaginable consequences. Only if Nigeria Government will understand the consequences that will follow should our leader die in their custody they will save this country by timely and unconditional release of Mazi Nnamdi KANU.”
