Kanu Seeks Transfer From DSS Custody To Kuje Prison

Leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, who has been in detention for about two years and standing trial for alleged terrorism, has asked a Federal High Court in Abuja to send him to Kuje prison.

According g to him, the Department of State Services (DSS) has no medical facility to treat him of his ailment. He alleged an ongoing conspiracy for him to die in DSS custody.

He said, “People will come to see me, they will not allow them. They don’t have a medical facility. I have congestive heart failure. They are patching me up.

“My foot is swollen. I asked them to conduct surgery, and they said they couldn’t. There is a conspiracy to die in detention. I want to be transferred to Kuje.”
