Kingsley Kanu, the brother of Nnamdi Kanu; the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB), has said, he was arrested in Kenya by security operatives.
According to IPOB spokesperson, Emma Powerful, disclosed in a statement quoted Kanu’s brother, Kingsley, as stating that the IPOB leader was detained while visiting Kenya and handed over to the FG.
Kanu’s brother stated, “My brother has been subject to extraordinary rendition by Kenya and Nigeria. They have violated the most basic principles of the rule of law.
“Extraordinary rendition is one of the most serious crimes states can commit. Both Nigeria and Kenya must be held to account. I demand justice for my brother, Nnamdi Kanu.”
Kingsley admonished the British High Commission to insist on his brother’s release, adding that the mission must guarantee his safety and security.
He stated, “The British High Commission in Nigeria must insist upon my brother’s immediate release. They must guarantee his safety and security.
“Nnamdi Kanu must be returned home to the UK to his wife and his sons who live here. The Foreign Secretary, Dominic Raab, must make it clear to the Nigerian authorities that they will not tolerate the unlawful detention of British citizens and that the UK government condemns the Nigerians and Kenyans for undermining the rule of law.
“Foreign Secretary, Raab must be clear: There will be consequences for those who resort to extraordinary rendition. The British Government must insist upon justice for Nnamdi Kanu.”
Also, IPOB leader younger brother, Kingsley Kanu, in a statement on Wednesday said Nnamdi Kanu was arrested in Kenya.
He said Nnamdi Kanu’s arrest was unlawful, saying he had been subjected to the most and serious violations of international law.
Kingsley Kanu said, “News has reached Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s family that he has been unlawfully arrested in Kenya.”
