"SSS Planning To Kill Mazi Nnamdi Kanu In Detention, He Is Being Starved" –Sister, Princess Chinwe Kanu Laments
Princess Chinwe Kanu, the younger sister of detained Director of Radio Biafra and leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has raised the alarm over the health condition of her elder brother,saying that personnel of the Department of State Services (DSS) want to kill him in detention.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Sun at her father's
compound in Afara Ukwu, Umuahia, Abia State,
Princess Kanu said what she saw of her elder brother when she attended his trial in Abuja on Monday made her to conclude that the DSS wants to kill him while in their custody.
"Honestly, the way they are going about this case
I'm not comfortable with it because when I saw
my brother, he looked like a shadow of his former
self. He looked pale and anaemic and he has
physical pain as a result of torture, starvation and
the hardship he is going through in the hands of
the DSS operatives," she alleged.
"After the court session, when he (Nnamdi) came
out, as the IPOB members and the Biafrans were
outside the gate while some were in the court
premises hailing him and chanting: "Nnamdi, Nnamdi
ka anyi ga-eso", the way the DSS man roughhandled
him, he almost fell down. I don't know what his
reasons were, but I'm happy Nnamdi never
challenged him.
She said the DSS should know that her brother was
not a criminal, but only a prisoner of conscience.
"They held him so tight that he screamed and I felt
bad. Because his health is deteriorating by the day, I
am calling on rights activists, the international crime
code, the Amnesty International, the UN and the
British commission to come and rescue their citizen
in the hands of the DSS. They are so mean and
wicked, they will kill him if care is not taken", she
pleaded.
Expressing joy that she saw her brother in high
spirits inside the courtroom which she said the
family was not allowed to enter if not for the
intervention of their lawyer, Princess Kanu said
she has confidence that God will set the director
of Radio Biafra free in the next adjourned date.
"I have confidence in what Eze Chukwuokike Abiama
(God) will do because He is not a man that He will lie
neither is He a man that He can disappoint us or
deceive us and because His word is yea and Amen
and because He is the one that brought His son out,
He will not abandon or leave him that's what I
believe in," Kanu said.
She said it was a shame the DSS that was
supposed to serve and protect the citizen, on the
contrary, it is torturing and starving them to
death. "My brother was assaulted publicly in the
court premises and I'm standing here with an
evidence to show the world what is going on the
injustice and nepotism that is going on in Nigeria.
I'm afraid of my live and that of my family with
the way things are going".
Princess Kanu said it was wrong for the Federal
Government to have charged his brother with
terrorism, noting that this was the height of
tyranny. "Will someone help tell President
Muhammadu Buhari that this is a democratic
dispensation, not autocratic government where he
was the General?
She said charging Nnamdi with terrorism means
equating him with Boko Haram members, saying
it was the height of injustice and a way to continue
in humiliating and assaulting an unarmed civilian
which she said was not the right thing to do.
