The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has raised the alarm over the alleged refusal by the Department of State Services, DSS, to allow its leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, see his doctors.

IPOB has therefore warned that if the Federal Government allows its leader to die in DSS custody following its refusal with its security agency to allow him to see his doctors, IPOB will bring down Nigeria and the consequences of what they will do in Nigeria can only be better imagined.

IPOB in a late statement on Wednesday, by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, following the alleged deteriorating condition of its leader’s health, alleged that every attempt by Mazi Kanu’s personal physicians to gain access to him has been rebuffed by the DSS, thereby worsening his health condition.

According to the Biafra agitating group, “Mazi Nnamdi Kanu must be released to enable him to undergo a proper medical examination having gone through the most horrendous inhumane treatment and torture at the hands of the Kenyan security agents.”

IPOB statement read in part. “We the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, ably led by our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, wish to alert the world and men of good conscience about the deteriorating health condition of our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who has been in detention at the Department of State Services, DSS, dungeon since his illegal abduction in Kenya and criminal repatriation to Nigeria.

“Every attempt by his personal physicians to gain access to him has been rebuffed by the DSS, thereby worsening his health condition.

“We are alerting the world about this anomaly to compel the Nigerian government to grant our leader’s doctors access to see him for a thorough medical examination bearing in mind the terrible torture he underwent for eight days in the hands of the Kenyan security agents.

“We wish to unequivocally state that no harm should befall our leader, we will bring down Nigeria if anything untoward happens to him. The consequences of what we will do in Nigeria can only be imagined than experienced. This is not a threat but a promise! Nigeria has been winning and dining with bandits and terrorists, but dehumanizing and killing peaceful agitators and freedom fighters.

“We urge human rights organizations, UN, AU, EU, ECOWAS and other relevant organizations across the globe to rise in defence of justice and compel the Nigeria government and her compromised security agencies to grant our leader’s personal doctors unfettered access to him.

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, our indefectible and courageous leader must not die in DSS custody, neither should he suffer any serious health complications, otherwise Nigeria will cease to exist.
