Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor, legal counsel to the leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has claimed that his client was beaten and arrested unconscious in Kenya.
Kanu, who has been on the run since 2017, was arrested in Kenya and brought back to Nigeria by security operatives on Sunday, June 27th. Ejiofor, during an interview with Arise News on Monday, also accused President Muhammadu Buhari-led government of trying to assassinate Kanu due to lack of evidence against him.
“Nnamdi Kanu never jumped bail. He was planning to attend his trial when his home was bombarded by the military on September 14, 2017, and he escaped death by the whiskers.”
“The Federal Government were not planning to prosecute him because they had no evidence against him. That was why they went after his life.”
He stated that Kanu was handed over to Nigerian authorities in an ‘unconscious’ state. He claimed that Kanu was almost killed in Kenya as he was tortured, beaten and left unconscious.
“All those things done to him over there were at the behest of the Federal government”, he alleged.
NOTHING WILL HAPPEN TO NNAMDI KANU AND IF BY ANY MEANS SOMETHING HAPPENS TO HIM MY BROTHER FIRE WILL BE ON THE MOUNTAIN
