Denying Mazi Nnamdi Kanu of feeding and medication has been described as weapons of torture.
The Special Counsel to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB Aloy Ejimakor and Kanu’s family had raised alarm that for nine days, Kanu has not taken his drugs and has been starving, allegedly on the grounds that the DSS had informed them that it has no money for that.
However, the senior brother to Kanu, Prince Kanunta Kanu has described that condition as a way to torture his brother.
According to him, “The deprivation of feeding, medication and sleeping in detention centres are weapons of torture”.
Kanunta who raised a petition tothe US StateDept, UNHumankRights, EU Commission, vonderleyen, UN, FCDOGovUK, UKParliament, AgnesCallamard 2B indmansLLP @UN @BBC and RishiSunak, the CanadianPM said “It’s a shame in 24th Century, inmates are starved to death in Nigeria”.
He flayed the federal government over neglect of detainees in the country inspite of huge budgets to that effect.
“Thar’s Nigeria for real. Even detainee’s in prisons across the country buys their own maxtresses to sleep on, yet huge budget is allocated for same.
Ejimakor and Kanu’s family have concluded plans to raise more than N1m for Kanu’s feeding by the DSS in Abuja.
