The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB has alleged how the Nigerian government led by President Muhammadu Buhari confirmed culpability in the ‘abduction’ of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
Naija News recalls that IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu was rearrested in Kenya and extradited back to Nigeria last year June.
He was then arraigned before Justice Binta Nyako who ordered his remand in the custody of the Department of State Services.
Kanu, who is facing an 11-count charge of treason, treasonable felony, terrorism and illegal possession of firearms, among others, jumped bail in 2017 and left the country, only to re-emerge in Israel and then in the United Kingdom. 
A series of trials have been held after the rearrest of the agitator in Kenya.
Raising concerns about the continuous detention of the secessionist in DSS custody, IPOB in a statement on Sunday said the delay in clarification has confirmed the involvement of Nigerian and Kenyan governments in Kanu’s rearrest.
According to IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, the Kenyan government contributed immensely by allowing its airport to be used as an abduction ground.
Powerful also challenged Nigeria’s secret police, the DSS to explain to the general public its involvement in Kanu’s rearrest, Naija News reports.
“The global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of our great leader and prophet, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, wish to request world leaders, men and women of good conscience across the globe to ask the Nigeria and Kenya governments why they are yet to give any clarification on how our leader was abducted in Kenya and repatriated to Nigeria,” A statement by Powerful on Sunday reads partly.
It reads further: “Their inability to explain how our leader was abducted and repatriated to Nigeria has only confirmed their culpability in the whole saga no matter how clever they think they are in denying any involvement.
“It’s a known rule that airports across the world are safe places for all law-abiding citizens. But Kenya has allowed its international airport to serve as an abduction ground for the oppressive Nigerian Government that kidnapped our leader who travelled to Kenya with a British passport.”
“This is nothing but travesty of justice should our leader be put on trial without first clarifications on his unlawful kidnap and rendition. DSS should explain its role in our leader’s abduction and rendition. IPOB will not relent in fighting this injustice against innocent citizens,” he added.
