The Department of State Services (DSS) says Nnamdi Kanu,
leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), enjoys full rights in
custody.
Peter Afunanya, DSS spokesperson, spoke at a media briefing
on Tuesday in Abuja.
IPOB had alleged that Kanu is denied food and change of
clothing in custody.
Afunanya said Kanu enjoys the best treatment in custody as
it is obtainable anywhere in the country.
“The service denies all the inciting allegations by IPOB and
state that Nnamdi Kanu is not in a anyway maltreated in custody,” Afunanya
said.
“Accusation of maltreatment negate the services standard
operation procedure on the implementation of rights of a suspect.
“Nnamdi Kanu enjoys full luxury in the holding facility in
comparable of any of it type any where in the country. He is accorded full
rights and privileges. He is never denied his rights of worship of freedom from
his religious practice.
“Adequate attention is paid to Kanu’s health. He has
unhindered access to the best medical care and doctors.
“The story of Kanu being starved is fallacious. He could not
have been starved as he enjoys meals of his choice. That he is not allowed
change of clothing is also false. He is regularly allowed change of clothing as
against what is presented to the public by IPOB propagandists.
“It is unfortunate that some elements decided to use
outright misinformation to represent the state of affairs.”
