Ifeanyi Ejiofor, lawyer to leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu has insisted on the involvement of the Kenyan government in the rearrest of his client.
Ejiofor, during an interview on Arise News monitored by ThisNigeria, alleged that Kanu was severely tortured by Kenyan security operatives before he was extradited to Nigeria.
Recall that the Kenyan government had denied its involvement in the rearrest of the IPOB leader on its soil.
Kenyan High Commissioner to Nigeria, Wilfred Machage issued the denial during a media briefing on Friday, July 2nd, 2021.
Speaking during the interview, Ejiofor said that Nnamdi Kanu was unconscious when he was extradited to Nigeria

“There was a clear collaboration between the Kenyan government and the Nigerian government. I am happy that they are denying the fact Nnamdi Kanu was arrested on their soil but I can assure you that when we are done with them at the International Court, they will never remain the same.
“He was arrested at the airport on the 19th of June, 2021. He was taken to an unknown residence where he was subjected to inhuman treatment. After spending 8 days in their custody, the Kenyan government called on their Nigerian counterpart to come for him. He was unconscious when they came for him. They never informed me that my client was abducted. I did not know what was going on until he appeared in court that Tuesday,” he said.
