The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB has alleged that its leader may have been killed by officers of the Department of Security Services, DSS.
It will be recalled that Kanu was a ‘no-show’ in court today after the secret police failed to produce him before Justice Binta Nyako at the Federal high court in Abuja for a continuation of his trial.
IPOB Spokesman, Emma Powerful, in a statement seen by POLITICS NIGERIA alleged that their leder may have killed. The statement read;
“We are no longer comfortable with this development. We have enough grounds to suspect foul play. With the failure of DSS to produce our leader in court today without any cogent reason and coupled with the torture meted out to him since his abduction in Kenya, we are worried about the safety of our Leader.”
“The failure of DSS to produce our leader in court today confirms our fear over the uncertainty concerning his health.”
“Considering his deteriorating health condition since he was kidnapped and the refusal of DSS to grant him access to his personal physicians, it is possible that our Leader may have been killed.”
Kanu has been under DSS protective custody since he was rearrested a few weeks ago. His lawyers also revealed that they have not been able to see him for the past 8 days.
