The lead counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Ifeanyi Ejiofor has narrated the inhuman treatment the pro-Biafra leader faced in Kenya where he was allegedly arrested in a commando style.
Ejiofor confirmed that Kanu was arrested and detained for eight day by Kenya’s Special Police Force, before he was eventually handed over to their Nigerian counterpart.
In his address after meeting with Kanu who’s in custody of the Department of State Service, DSS said his heth is deteriorating with speed because of the torture he’s subjected to.
In a post on his Facebook titled: “Update on meeting with MNK today, 2nd July 2021,” Ejiofor also disclosed that Kenya authority was involved in the entire process leading to the return of Kanu to Nigeria.
“My Client – Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, was actually abducted by the accursed Kenya’s Special Police Force on the 18th of June 2021 at their International Airport, and consequently taken to an undisclosed residence under dehumanizing conditions.
“He was tortured and subjected to all forms of inhuman treatment which worsened his health condition. He was illegally detained for eight (8) good DAYS in Kenya before being transfered to their Nigerian counterpart.
“He was purportedly investigated on a bogus charge while in their custody, ostensibly, awaiting to be handed over after their findings proved him innocent of all the spurious allegations. They later beckoned on their Nigerian Counterpart to take over.
“Kenyan Government was deeply involved in the abduction, detention and ill-treatment of my Client before the illegal handover to their Nigerian counterpart.
“A scan of his heart showed that the heart has enlarged by 13% due to the dehumanizing treatment meted to him. There will be need for immediate proper medical examination and attention for him.
“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu conveyed his goodwill message to all IPOB family members worldwide, and craved for your unrelentless prayers.
“We are going back to the Court for the needful. Other details cannot be entertained here.
“His fortified legal team will address these infractions at the proper forum as we progress. Other details on our legal strategy, may not be made public.
“With Chukwuokike Abiama on our side, Victory is assured. For if God Almighty be for us, who can be against us?” he concluded.
