Kanunta Okwu Kanu, the immediate younger brother of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has called on the federal government of Nigeria to ensure that the life of his detained brother is not in danger.
Kanunta who condemned the unlawful arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, described it as “kidnapping”, which is “extraordinary rendition”.
“Nigeria and Kenya committed a crime against humanity by kidnapping Mazi Nnamdi Kanu that is called EXTRAORDINARY RENDITIONS. Nobody is talking about prison break here,” Kanunta said in a tweet while reacting to the claim by DSS that the IPOB leader is seeking transfer to Kuje prison “where he can easily escape”.
“Those of you that believe assassination attempt on Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s life, will solve the problems in Nigeria, I can categorically tell you, that you are a joke.
“Nigeria government of Fulani extraction should be very careful,” Kanunta added.
Meanwhile, the British High Commission and a law firm in London, Bindmans, have sought the consent of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, to take up his case.
Nnamdi Kanu’s legal counsel, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor who disclosed this, told Vanguard that the development would open up a new chapter in the trial of Kanu, adding that the Nigerian government would be served with summons to bring him to the United Kingdom, where another case would be heard over the manner of his rendition to Nigeria.
