Hundreds of women who are supporters of the leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, took to the streets in Abia State to protest his continued detention.
Kanu has been in the custody of the Department of State Service (DSS) for the continued trial of treasonable felony and terrorism charges preferred against him.
This is happening regardless of the ruling of the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja discharging Kanu in October and a Federal High Court in Umuahia ordering return Kanu to Kenya. The Federal Government has yet to obey any of the court orders.
However, the IPOB leader has accused the DSS of denying him his drugs and medical attention in the past nine days and failing to give him food on Thursday.
Kanu’s Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, had in a tweet on Thursday, said his client made the allegation during his routine visit to the IPOB leader in the DSS custody in Abuja.
