Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A family member of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has accused the Department of State Services, DSS, of detaining the Biafra agitator in a \u201ctorture chamber.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kanunta Kanu, one of the brothers of the agitator, said Kanu had not been released despite court orders.<\/p>\n

He was reacting to the Federal High Court in Umuahia\u2019s ruling that Kanu is returned to Kenya.<\/p>\n

The court ruled that Kanu\u2019s extraordinary rendition was against his fundamental rights.<\/p>\n

It ordered that the IPOB leader should be restored to the state he was in before the Kenyan arrest and extraordinary rendition last year.<\/p>\n

Recall that Kanu was arrested in Kenya and repatriated to Nigeria last year.<\/p>\n

The Nigerian Government was accused of subjecting the IPOB leader to extraordinary rendition last year.<\/p>\n

Upon his return to Nigeria, Kanu was locked up by the Department of State Services, DSS, while subjecting him to legal tussles.<\/p>\n

To this end, Kanu\u2019s Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, instituted a legal action against the Nigerian Government.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the court granted all the seven prayers sought by Ejimakor.<\/p>\n

Reacting, Kanunta tweeted: \u201cSome people are having the notion that #MaziNnamdiKanu has been released from detention the answer is NO, he is still in DSS \u201ctorture chamber\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen will @NGRPresident and @GovNigeria obey the court orders? @StateDept @FCDOGovUK @CanadianPM @EU_Commission @UN @UKParliament.\u201d<\/p>\n
