  Nnamdi Kanu: Nigeria government continues to disobey Court Orders with Impunity says IPOB

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has raised the alarm over the alleged denial and harassment of its detained leader, Nnamdi Kanu’s visitors by the officials of the Department of State Services (DSS) in Abuja.

The IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, who raised the alarm in a statement issued on Monday said that on Thursday, DSS officials refused to allow Kanu access to his visitors on what he described as “a flimsy excuse” of not having enough hands to handle logistics for Kanu’s visitors because of the off-cycle governorship election in Imo, Kogi and Bayelsa states on Saturday. 

Powerful stated that “The claim of not having enough personnel to handle the logistics for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's visitors because of Imo, Bayelsa and Kogi States elections by Abuja DSS as a reason for denying Nnamdi Kanu access to his weekly visitors is ridiculously laughable.”  

According to him, “During the general elections of the Presidential, Governorship, National Assembly and State Assembly, our leader was allowed visitors to visit him at the DSS detention facility. 

“So why should the DSS deprive Nnamdi Kanu of visitors because of the Imo, Kogi and Bayelsa states governorship elections?

“This is a calculated attempt to torture and make things difficult for Nnamdi Kanu. The DSS's excuse of denying our leader visitors as ordered by the court is suspicious. We therefore warn DSS to be careful in handling the issues of our leader. 

“We do not expect any excuses or selective visitors for our leader going forward. IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu understand the gimmicks of the Janjaweed controlled DSS and the government of Nigeria.

“IPOB is watching the janjaweed controlled DSS agency and their Director, Mr. Yusuf Bichi, as they have started their shenanigans again. We also put their new Igbo hired-hand spokesperson, Peter Afunanya, to not start his dirty job with us. 

“Our leader, Nnamdi Kanu, is the gun trigger that must not be taken for granted. His health and welfare must be given utmost attention. He must be given unfiltered access to his choice guests and visitors weekly, not selectively, in line with court orders. 

“The Nigeria government must do well to release him based on the subsisting Appeal Court orders if they lack logistics to manage his visitors.”
