Special counsel to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has revealed that the detained leader is in very high spirit in the Department of State Service (DSS) facility.

Mr Aloy Ejimakor made the disclosure after visiting the IPOB leader at the DSS detention camp in Abuja on Wednesday, July 14, 2021.

According to Mr Ejimakor, before a court could subject Kanu to trial, it would have to conduct a trial within a trial on the grievous incident that forced him to leave Nigeria and the grievous incident that forced him back to the country.

“No court of law, conscience and equity will overlook those two incidents and proceed to trial.

“Kanu was interviewed for the first time in my presence by three DSS officers. The interview was revealing as it contained certain new allegations that were never heard of before. But they all relate to his status as the leader of IPOB.

“Kanu was in point of fact tortured and subjected to untold inhuman treatment in Kenya. He said his abductors disclosed to him that they abducted him at the behest of the Nigerian government.

“He was held in a nondescript private facility and chained to a bare floor but despite what he has passed through, he was in high spirits and looked forward to overcoming the extraordinary rendition that brought him to Nigeria,” Ejimakor said.
