Nnamdi Kanu Was Blindfolded, Legs Chained From Kenya To Nigeria

Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), was allegedly tortured while being transferred from Kenya to Nigeria in June 2021, according to his brother, Emmanuel ‘Meme’ Kanu.

Interpol arrested Kanu in Kenya under dubious circumstances and extradited him to Nigeria, where he is currently on trial for treason. Kenyan High Commissioner Wilfred Machage (now late) stated that Kenyan authorities were not involved in Kanu’s detention and challenged anyone to show evidence to the contrary.

He has been arraigned several times at the Federal High Court in Abuja since June 2021, with his next trial date set for April.

“Today he (Nnamdi Kanu) said things I never knew he passed through,” Emmanuel said on his well-known Facebook page after a routine visit to Nnamdi Kanu. Do you know that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu traveled from Kenya to Nigeria blindfolded for nearly 5 hours? Do you know that upon his arrival at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, he was blindfolded for two days before being taken to court by the Nigerian Intelligence Agency (NIA), and that he remained blindfolded while in court? Do you know that he was handcuffed and his two legs were chained for the duration of his flight, to the point where blood wasn’t flowing?

“Did you know that while he was being transported to the NIA detention facility, an assault rifle was pointed at the back of his head?” In all of this, he has remained steadfast and focused solely on our freedom. “The leader of the IPOB must be free.”
