Nnamdi Kanu, the IPOB leader has spoken up about how the Kenyan government arrested, tortured and deported him to Nigeria.
He made the disclosure to his lead counsel, Ifeanyi Ejiofor on Friday when they met at the office of the Department of Security Service in Abuja.
According to Kanu, he was detained after his arrest at Kenya’s international airport on the 18th of June and tortured for 8 days before being handed over to Nigerian security operatives.
Nnamdi Kanu’s revelation comes hours after the Director-General of Immigration Services in Kenya, Alexander Muteshi dismissed claims that the leader of IPOB was arrested and extradited by Kenya.
Kanu’s lawyer maintained that he was tortured to the extent that his heath became compromised and that Kenyan government “was deeply involved in the abduction, detention and ill-treatment” of his client.
He made the details public in a statement published on Friday.
Update on meeting with MNK today, 2nd July 2021:
My Client – Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, was actually abducted by the accursed Kenya’s Special Police Force on the 18th of June 2021 at their International Airport, and consequently taken to an undisclosed residence under dehumanizing conditions.He was tortured and subjected to all forms of inhuman treatment which worsened his health condition.
He was illegally detained for eight ( good DAYS in Kenya* before being transfered to their Nigerian counterpart.
He was purportedly investigated on a bogus charge while in their custody, ostensibly, awaiting to be handed over after their findings proved him innocent of all the spurious allegations. They later beckoned on their Nigerian Counterpart to take over.
Kenyan Government was deeply involved in the abduction, detention and ill-treatment of my Client before the illegal handover to their Nigerian counterpart.
A scan of his heart showed that the heart has enlarged by 13% due to the dehumanizing treatment meted to him. There will be need for immediate proper medical examination and attention for him.
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu conveyed his goodwill message to all IPOB family members worldwide, and craved for your unrelentless prayers.
We are going back to the Court for the needful. Other details cannot be entertained here. His fortified legal team will address these infractions at the proper forum as we progress. Other details on our legal strategy, may not be made public.
With Chukwuokike Abiama on our side, Victory is assured. For if God Almighty be for us, who can be against us?#freeMaziNnamdiKanu Barr Ifeanyi Ejiofor
