Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB Leader.
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has complained that its detained leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was rushed to "an ill-equipped DSS clinic in a medical emergency in Abuja on Monday, February 27, 2023.”
IPOB reiterated that Kanu is critically ill and requires urgent medical treatment by his doctor.
The group said that rushing Kanu to a DSS poorly equipped clinic is a cosmetic measure that could make him more vulnerable to harm.
A statement released on Friday, by IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful again called on the Federal Government to obey the Courts and release Kanu, warning that there would be consequences should anything untoward happen to Kanu in DSS custody.
The statement reads in part: “We have endured all provocations; assaults, killings, illegal abductions, detentions, kidnappings, and extraordinary rendition of our leader from Kenya to Nigeria.
"The Nigerian government has also refused to obey their court orders to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and other IPOB members illegally detained in various detention facilities.
"Nobody should blame us for any action going forward.
“We are warning the Nigerian government and DSS agents to release our leader, whom they are illegally holding in solitary confinement irrespective of the court and UN working Group orders to allow him to attend to his deteriorating health.
“They should release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to undergo a much-needed heart surgery urgently,” IPOB said.
The IPOB is a pro-self-determination group pushing for the restoration of Biafra, a nation that existed independently for about three years in the Eastern part of Nigeria.
