A new issue brought up by the family of leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra Nnamdi Kanu, alleging that that Nigerian government has spent N800 million for each of Kanu’s court appearances.
In a statement on Saturday, the family’s spokesperson, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, highlighted that Kanu’s situation seems to have turned into a lucrative business for certain corrupt individuals in power.
Questions have been raised regarding the beneficiaries of the reported N800 million spent during Kanu’s court appearances.
The family demands transparency from the government in revealing the recipients and purposes of the funds.
There are concerns that if substantial amounts of money are indeed being spent on his court proceedings, obtaining bail for Kanu might become challenging as those profiting from his incarceration may be reluctant to relinquish their gains.
The family reiterated their disappointment with the Igbo political class for allegedly neglecting Kanu and expressed deep distress about his current health.
Recent information suggests a critical decline in Kanu’s health, with the family highlighting the urgent need for him to see a cardiologist, stressing that access to his personal doctors has been restricted.
The family appeals to the international community to intervene and pressure the Nigerian Government to release Kanu, whom they believe is unjustly detained for advocating the freedom of the Biafran people.
His family members emphasize the urgent need for medical attention to prevent a potential health crisis for the pro-Biafra agitator.
Since his forced abduction and transfer from Kenya on June 21, Kanu has been isolated at the Abuja headquarters of the Department of State Services, DSS.
