I was arrested, tortured for eight days by Kenya Government – Nnamdi Kanu tells his lawyer

Newsie Events Media:

Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor, the head lawyer to the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. who was abducted, extradited and being detained by the Department of State Services, (DSS), Abuja, have finally met him on Friday,where he confirmed that he was indeed arrested and detained by the government of Kenya for a week, before being handed over to Nigerian authorities.

As a result of the dehumanising treatment and torture meted to him in Kenya, his lawyers noted that his heart had enlarged by 13 per cent and that he now needs “immediate proper medical examination and attention.”

In an update after the meeting, Ejiofor said, “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 transfered 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.

With Chukwuokike Abiama on our side, Victory is assured. For if God Almighty be for us, who can be against us?” #freeMaziNnamdiKanu#

The Kenyan High Commissioner to Nigeria, Wilfred Machage, while addressing a press briefing in Abuja, challenged anyone or group with proofs that Kenyan security officials, agencies or the government arrested Kanu should be free to share them. 

He opined that the true answers of what happened to Nnamdi Kanu should come from the Nigerian government and asked Nigerians to get get answers from their government and not from Kenya.

Machage had said, “One, Nnamdi Kanu; I want to address this allegation by denying that Kenya was involved in the alleged arrest and extradition to Nigeria of Mr Kanu, and I repeat, I want to address this allegation by denying that Kenya was involved. 
“These allegations are fictional, imaginary and exist to fuel antagonistic feelings between the southern section of the Nigerian people against the Kenya peole, and indeed many countries have been accused. 
“Rwanda, Czech Republic, Britain, Ethiopia and God knows which other country. I want to challenge anyone with facts relating to this arrest through Kenya to present these facts.”

This is coming after Kenya Government’s denial of arresting or it’s security officials having a hand in his abduction and extradition.
