“Secretly Relocated, Medically Neglected: Kanu’s Life at Risk in Sokoto Prison – Family Warns of Plot to Kill IPoB Leader”
By Passman Akpos
The family of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPoB), has raised serious concerns over his safety following reports that he has been secretly relocated to Sokoto prison.
Prince Emmanuel Kanu, speaking on Friday, revealed that when the legal team visited Kanu at the Abuja headquarters of the Department of State Services (DSS), where he had been detained for months, they were told he had been moved to Sokoto.
Expressing deep worry, Kanu’s family described the relocation as a dangerous move, alleging it could be part of a plot to harm the IPoB leader.
“They have secretly relocated Nnamdi Kanu to Sokoto prison with the intention to kill him by denying him access to his personal physicians,” Prince Emmanuel said. “Kanu is on special medication, which a private doctor manages after his failed health. Now they want to return to the old method of administering drugs. This is a plan to finally kill him, and we are opposed to it.”
The family maintained that Kanu has committed no crime and condemned what they described as an ongoing campaign of torture.
“Nigeria should not kill Nnamdi Kanu for seeking justice for his people,” Prince Emmanuel added.
He also appealed to the international community to hold President Bola Tinubu and the federal government responsible should anything happen to the detained leader.
As of now, the Nigerian government has not issued any official statement regarding Kanu’s relocation or his current condition.
