The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has alleged that the Department of State Services (DSS) in Abuja, is trying to use starvation strategy to eliminate its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
In a statement by the Emma Powerful, the Media and Publicity Secretary of IPOB, it said the rights of their leader has continued to be trampled upon as he faces maltreatments in solitary confinement.

The group warned that nothing should happen to Kanu since he is being subjected to starvation. They also insisted that their leader be moved to Kuje prison instead.
The statement read partly;
“We wish to place the world on notice over the continued maltreatment and humiliation of our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, in the custody of the Department of State Services, DSS, Abuja.
“The evil and compromised Nigeria DSS security agent has decided to use starvation and hunger strategy to eliminate our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in the custody. They have continued to confine him to a solitary cell under harsh conditions since his rendition to Nigeria in June. Solitary confinement is not a correctional center. They should send him to Kuje Prison pending his court dates.
“Nigeria’s DSS has denied our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu food since three to four days now. Nothing should happen to our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in detention.

“We are asking the Nigerian government and security agencies that are busy granting and releasing bandits and real terrorists every day to transfer our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to the Nigeria prison/Correctional Centre where persons awaiting trial are kept.
“The whole world should take note of these atrocities and torture being meted out against our innocent leader. Amnesty International, and other human rights groups should take note.”
