Detention room: IPOB leader, Kanu alleges AC unit has hidden gadget


 



The detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, on Monday, alleged that the AC unit in the detention facility of the State Security Service, SSS, has harmful gadgets hidden in it.


Kanu disclosed this to newsmen in Owerri, through his lead counsel, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, shortly after the routine visit to Kanu, at the detention facility of the SSS, in Abuja.


The IPOB leader said he was raising an alarm because the hidden gadget in the AC unit, led to the ear problem he developed while in the detention facility of the SSS.


To end his ear problem among other health challenges, he called for inspection of the cell to be done through a request to a magistrate court.


According to the IPOB lawyer’s statement, Ejiofor, said: “The air conditioner (AC) unit in Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s cell is an espionage AC with gadgets hidden inside it. This is largely responsible for the ear problem he is presently experiencing, which is further worsened by the beatings and severe torture he was subjected to in Kenya before his extraordinary rendition to Nigeria.


“Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu consequently directed that we should request for the inspection of his cell by a Magistrate, in line with the provisions of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015.


“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.
