The
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has alleged that its intelligence unit has
discovered that its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, is presently ill in Kuje Prisons,
Abuja.
In a statement to THISDAY which
was signed by its spokespersons of the group; Emma Nmezu and Clifford Iroanya,
the group alleged that Kanu is currently ill in prison.
It added that what is most
shocking is that any member of his family who dares to visit him in prison
would be arrested and detained.
Part of the statement sent to
THISDAY read: "We condemn the incessant harassment and security threats
towards our leader who has been in detention since October 14, 2015, in Kuje
prison, Abuja, and the harassment of IPOB members, friends and the relatives
who went to visit him in Kuje prison.
"They have devised another
way of arresting anybody who goes to visit him in Kuje prison, and this is bad.
They
also accused prison authorities and the warders in Kuje prison of shooting
poisonous gas into Kanu's cell to suffocate him.
The statement added that the
canisters of poisonous gas with bullet shell fired into Kanu's cell had been
sent to the British Government who recently went to visit their leader.
They added: "We have in
our possession incontrovertible evidence which has now been sent to the United
State for exhaustive analysis of the toxic chemical content."
The group further added;
"The All Progressives Congress APC-led government cannot tell the world
where Kanu and his members committed crime but they are still holding him and
some other members in the prison and security cells through out the country.
"We
have warned before and will continue to warn mankind that the world should pray
nothing happens to Kanu because if his present illness gets worse, the IPOB
worldwide will not take it easy with the Nigeria government
