shocking, the arrest and detention of any member of his family who dared to
visit him in prison.

and security threats towards our leader, who has been indetention since Oct

relatives, who went to visit him in prison,” the statement said.

of shooting poisonous gas into Nnamdi Kanu’s cell to suffocate him.

continue to warn mankind that the world should pray nothing happens to our
leader, because if his present illness gets worse the IPOB worldwide will not
take it easy with the Nigerian government,” the group added.
