Mr Ifeanyi Ejiofor, Lawyer to the embattled leader of the Indigenous
People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu has stated that his client needs
urgent medical attention.
Ejiofor, in a statement made available to POLITICS NIGERIA on Friday, revealed that Kanu was tortured and subjected to inhumane treatment by security agents.
He added that his client is currently suffering from a heart ailment that requires urgent medical treatment.
"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 transferred 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."
