The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is worried that their leader, Nnamdi Kanu, was killed in a systematic way while he was being held in Abuja by the Department of State Services.
The group said that Kanu needs medical help for his heart problems and lack of a few minerals, and that the Federal Government hasn’t let him go as the courts had ordered.
Emma Powerful, the IPOB’s secretary for media and publicity, said in a statement that the group also said the government had stopped their sick leader from seeing his own doctors.
“Instead, they have led to his buying his medication from roadside pharmacies, which we perceive as a methodical and slow death and the last way of elimination.”

“The illegally detained person in DSS solitary confinement, Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu, is the target of a determined scheme by the Nigerian government to have him killed. The Nigerian government has refused to free Mazi Kanu as Nigerian courts ordered or to provide him access to his personal doctors despite the fact that he is dealing with heart issues and various mineral deficiencies that need medical professionals’ attention. Instead, they have caused him to frequent wayside pharmacies for his medication, which we perceive as a methodical and progressive killing of him and a means of his final elimination, according to IPOB.
