The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, who is currently being incarcerated in the facility of the DSS, claimed on Monday that there are dangerous devices planted in the AC unit of his detention room.
Kanu revealed this to reporters in Owerri via his lead attorney, Ifeanyi Ejiofor.
The head of the IPOB claimed he was raising the alarm because the secret device in the AC unit caused the ear issue he experienced while he was being held at the SSS detention centre.
He requested that the cell be inspected by a magistrate court in order to resolve his ear issue and other health issues.
The air conditioner (AC) unit in Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s cell is an espionage AC with gadgets hidden inside, according to the IPOB lawyer Ejiofor’s declaration.
“This is mostly to blame for the ear issue he is currently facing, which is made worse by the beatings and extreme torture he endured in Kenya before his incredible rendition to Nigeria.
“As a result, Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu gave us the order to get a magistrate to check his cell in accordance with the 2015 Administration of Criminal Justice Act.
“That he, Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, wishes to respectfully draw the attention of the Lord Justices of the Supreme Court to the provisions of Supreme Court Practice Directions 2013 (Criminal Appeals), which is intended to eliminate unnecessary delay in the hearing of criminal appeals. It is even more so in the instant case, where Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is now being detained in an unprecedented manner after he had been freed by the Court of Appeal. The Supreme Court is respectfully urged to stand on the provisions of its Practice Directions, to fix a date for the expeditious Hearing of the Federal Government’s Appeal against his freedom and liberty.
“It is indeed unfortunate that because of one man, Nigeria is destroying all the safeguards contained in her laws, because of the selfish desire to detain Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, illegally. Sadly, the Government now determines who is guilty, and no longer the Courts. The sanctity of judicial pronouncements has been destroyed because of the inordinate desire to punish one man. Indeed, there was a country,” he said
“Why is the Federal Government of a country of over 200 million people, afraid of one man’s case? A Federal Government that has all the security apparatus at its disposal; a Federal Government which invaded Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s house in Afaraukwu Ibeku and killed over 28 innocent civilians; a Federal Government that criminally abducted Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from Kenya and extraordinarily renditioned him to Nigeria. What exactly are they afraid of?
“That he, Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, strongly believes that the Federal Government’s appeal against the judgment of the Court of Appeal which discharged him and prohibited his further trial and detention, will not be heard, because the Federal Government intends to illegally detain him indefinitely.
“There is presently no charge pending before any Court against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Yet, he is still being detained based on an unprecedented Order of Stay of Execution, in total disregard to his constitutionally guaranteed right to personal liberty.
“Where in the world, has it ever happened that the Court discharged a person, ordered for his unconditional release, prohibited his further detention and trial, yet, that person is still being held in solitary confinement?”
