IPOB WARNS THAT NNAMDI KANU IS BLEEDING INTERNALLY AND THAT HIS PASSING COULD BRING NIGERIA TO ITS KNEES.

Baatunji Wusu –

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), is reportedly suffering from internal bleeding as a result of alleged abuse while being held by the Department of State Services (DSS). The organization has called on the Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led government to release Kanu.

Remember that from his arrest in Kenya and return to Nigeria in 2021, Nnamdi Kanu has been detained by the DSS.

On December 15, the Supreme Court overturned the Appeal Court’s decision and granted him a trial on the terrorism-related accusations the Federal Government had brought against him.

IPOB spokesman Emma Powerful stated in a statement on Sunday that Kanu need immediate, specialist medical attention in order to prevent catastrophic consequences.

IPOB said reports reaching it “indicate that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is having medical complications in the DSS solitary confinement. The report said that Kanu may be having internal bleeding caused by torture.

“This current medical situation may have risen from ruptured veins and internal bleeding disorders arising from the beating and torture he was subjected to by the Nigeria secret agents who kidnapped him in Kenya in 2021.

“Moreso, the drug overuse and abuse that DSS has subjected Kanu to may also be part of the problem. Our Leader requires medical emergency treatment outside the DSS facility to undergo surgery for his survival.

“Even the DSS medical director agrees that Kanu requires urgent and serious medical attention to handle his case. The Federal Government and the British government should release Kanu on medical grounds for independent medical professionals to attend to him and carry out the surgery if necessary to save the unforeseen situation.”

The Federal Government should be careful that nothing happens to Kanu during and after his illegal detention in DSS solidarity confinement. Kanu is a precious jewel that Biafrans have given their lives to protect, and many are ready to give their lives for him. Kanu is a trigger of the gun that is capable of sinking Nigeria if mishandled,” the group added.
