The Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigerian government have been accused by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) of attempting to assassinate Nnamdi Kanu, the group’s leader.
Kanu needs a specialist due to a heart condition and mineral shortages, lamented IPOB spokesman Emma Powerful.
Powerful emphasized that the DSS’s refusal to give Kanu food and medicine is a “systematic” way of assassinating their leader.

Recall that Aloy Ejimakor, Kanu’s Special Counsel, had expressed concern for the agitator’s welfare while being held by the DSS.
According to Ejimakor, the DSS denied Kanu his medication and food for nine days.
Therefore, Powerful commanded the Nigerian government to free Kanu so he could receive appropriate medical care.
A statement by Powerful reads: “The Nigerian Government has deliberately planned to eliminate Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU, who is illegally detained in DSS solitary confinement.
“Kanu is battling heart problems and some mineral deficiencies which require medical specialists’ attention, but the Nigeria government have refused to release him as Nigerian courts ordered, nor have they allowed him access to his personal physicians.

“Instead, they have resorted to patronizing roadside pharmacies for his drug, which we see as a systematic and gradual diminishing and killing of his life and final elimination method.
“We, the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), therefore, call on the Nigeria government to release KANU immediately if they can’t afford his medications and food.”
