Five Questions FG Is Yet To Answer On Kanu’s Arrest – IPOB Leader’s Brother

The brother of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, Emmanuel, has insisted that the IPOB leader was kidnapped before being repatriated from Kenya to Nigeria.

Emmanuel linked the arrest of Kanu to how President Muhammadu Buhari who was then a Military President, allegedly tried to abduct Umar Dikko from the UK.

“It was not funny. Because when the news was broken to us, we had to ask a couple of questions which, up till now, nobody has provided answers to. Even the federal government has not.

“The question is what has he done to be abducted from Kenya? Did he commit any crime in Kenya? Was there any crime against him in the UK? If there were, there are processes to be met before taking somebody away from a particular country, which was not followed.”
