The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has alleged that the Department of State Services (DSS) may have killed its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, in detention.
The group made the allegation in a statement by its spokesman, Emma Powerful.
The DSS had failed to present Kanu in court on Monday, July 26th, to continue his trial.
Reacting to Kanu’s absence, Powerful accused the DSS of preventing Nnamdi Kanu from getting access to medical care for his deteriorating health.
“We are no longer comfortable with this development. We have enough grounds to suspect foul play.

“With the failure of DSS to produce our leader in court without any cogent reason and coupled with the torture meted out to him since his abduction in Kenya, we are worried about the safety of our Leader.
“The failure of DSS to produce our leader in court today confirms our fear over the uncertainty concerning his health.
“Considering his deteriorating health condition since he was kidnapped and the refusal of DSS to grant him access to his personal physicians, it is possible that our Leader may have been killed,” the statement read.
