The family of the convicted leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has raised an alarm, rejecting his relocation to Sokoto prison.
In a statement on behalf of the family, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, who raised the alarm on Friday, said that when his legal team went to visit him at the Abuja headquarters of the Department of State Services, DSS, where he had been held all along, they were told he had been moved to Sokoto.
He expressed worry over the safety of Kanu in a Sokoto prison.
Alleging that the relocation of the IPOB leader to Sokoto was a veiled plot to eliminate him, Prince Emmanuel vehemently rejected the move.
“They have secretly relocated Nnamdi Kanu to Sokoto prison with the intention to kill him by denying him access to his personal physicians.
“Kanu is on special medication, which is being managed by a private doctor after his failed health. Now they want to go back to the old order of administering drugs to him. This is a plan to finally kill him, and we are opposed to it.
“Nigeria should not kill Nnamdi Kanu for seeking justice for his people. He committed no crime to warrant this torture”.
Prince Emmanuel called on the international community to hold President Bola Tinubu and the federal government of Nigeria responsible should anything happen to the IPOB leader.
