Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Department of State Services, DSS, has dismissed reports of poisoning Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, in its custody.<\/p>\n

DSS said the issue with Kanu was not political; hence Nigerians should discountenance the report of poisoning.<\/p>\n

There have been reports that DSS was poisoning Kanu in its custody.<\/p>\n

It was claimed that some youths are planning to burn down government properties in the Southeast.<\/p>\n

In line with this claim, IPOB accused DSS of secretly and systematically trying to kill Kanu by denying him access to his medical doctors.<\/p>\n

However, an operative of DSS who spoke exclusively with DAILY POST on the ground of anonymity, said Kanu is being treated well.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cNnamdi Kanu can\u2019t be denied access to his doctors, and what is happening to him is political. Even if the prisoner is a hardened criminal, we treat him well, so Kanu\u2019s case is not different.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no truth in the claim that DSS is poisoning Kanu; it\u2019s all a lie \u2013 he has access to his doctors. However, he has his medical issues, but he is not denied access to his doctors.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know we should not expect anything good from IPOB, their issue and agenda are against the government so disregard all these reports.\u201d<\/p>\n
