Is Nnamdi Kanu dead? Death rumours trail IPOB leader

On Monday, here were reports in a section of the media that leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu is dead.

The report got many peiople asking on line, is Nnamdi Kanu truly dead?

However, findings by IDOMA VOICE have shown the pro-Biafra leader is not dead as widely speculated on social media.

This was further confirmed by Ifeanyi Ejiofor, counsel to Nnamdi Kanu.

According to Ejiofor, Kanu is not dead but “very much alive” in the custody of the Department of State Services, DSS.

In a statement he issued on Monday, Ejiofor said the DSS top operatives informed the legal team that Kanu was protesting against his previous inability to meet with his legal representative.

“Following the stout protest by the erudite Silk, we were consequently brought in, to meet with some superior officers at a meeting where all superior personnel connected with the matter were invited. Far-reaching contacts were made to establish the fact that our Client- Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was presumably protesting the previous three visits which were aborted by the DSS.

“All efforts made to move the visit to his very location of detention were not granted by the DSS, as they insisted that our request ran contrary to their procedure and guidelines.

“Effort is presently being intensified to pacify Onyendu to have one-on-one discussion with his legal team, to enable us brief him on legal steps we may be compelled to take and measures to be adopted to assure him that there are legal consequences for flagrant violations of court orders by the DSS.

“We are quite hopeful that this needless impasse will be resolved between now and tomorrow morning, to enable the legal team led by Ozekhome, to conduct the visit tomorrow. That has so far been assured us.

“We can authoritatively confirm to you all at this stage that Nnamdi Kanu is very much alive, and still being detained in the facility of the State Security Services (DSS) National Headquarters, Abuja.”
