Release Kanu's passports, wedding ring, IPOB tells DSS
Irked by the continued detention of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu despite
court orders to that effect, the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB),
has asked the Department of State Services (DSS) to release his personal
effects.
In a statement issued on Thursday in Umuahia, IPOB expressed sadness
over the refusal of the DSS to release Kanu’s personal effects to the
family.
The statement, signed by the group’s Media and Publicity Officer, Emma
Powerful, listed the seized items as “Kanu’s British and Nigerian
passports, wedding ring, shoes, sandals, clothes, eyeglass, £2000, and
N97,000.”
The group contended that since the DSS did not include those items as
exhibits at the court, it ought to release them to Kanu’s family.
It accused the Federal Government of nursing ulterior motives by not
“incidenting” the seized items as exhibits nor releasing them to Kanu’s
family.
The group, therefore, called on the international community to note
the continued maltreatment of Biafran agitators by the Nigerian
authorities.
