Nnamdi Kanu’s Sister Shares Her Ordeal With Soldiers At Kuje Prison by ezigbos: 10:55am On Sep 10, 2016


A sister to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra has the manner at which she and some other members of her family faced in the hands of some soldiers.

Princess Tonia Kanu while speaking to NAIJ.com said she had gone to Kuje prison to pay her brother a visit on Tuesday, September 6, when 14 security operatives – 12 soldiers and 2 others on mufti – accosted her and some other family members.
Princess said: “Actually what really happened is that I went to Kuje to see my brother as usual! Coincidentally I met three of my uncles there… They also came to see my brother and they had already filled their form.”

She said because her uncles were at the facility before her, they were also privileged to meet with Kanu before it was her turn.

“After they finished with him, on their way coming out I was about going in… they told me not to be in a haste that my brother have told them to wait for me so they can drop me in any close place for me to pick a cab and go home,” Princess said.

Continuing, Kanu’s sister said after the visitation, there had just left the facility when the heavily armed men with a white Toyota Hiace bus with registration number BV 718 RSH double crossed them.

“They ordered all of us to come down and enter their own vehicle, which we did and they kept us there for more than 30mins until my uncle asked one of the officers to explain what was happening and what our offence was.

Princess said the officer in question said they should remain quiet and exercise patience as they will be well informed of their offence when they get to where they would be taken to.

“So, immediately I wanted to make a call with my phone but then, they asked me not to try it.

“Then one of the men on mufti said we look familiar (me and my uncle), he said it seems he sees me on TV. That was when my uncle, Emeka Ndumele told him that he is Nnamdi Kanu’s brother,” Kanu’s sister said.

“They left us in the bus with the armed soldiers while they went to one corner to make calls. After a very long call, they came back and said we should drop our mobile phone numbers and addresses.

Princess told NAIJ.com that they obeyed the officer directive, without argument.

She said the officers also informed them they were acting on “orders from above”.

She also said although the security officer did not beat or try to torture them, she felt embarrassed and disappointed.

“One of the officers had Ejiofor on his name tag, I don’t know what they want from us, if they want my brother to die of hunger there because I am the one that goes there to know what he needs almost every day.

“Although they never mentioned my brother’s name…but according to my uncles when they were inside the prison with him, the one on mufti was working around there monitoring them and their discussion with my brother.

“Then he sat beside them as if he is also waiting to see his own inmate, not knowing he was probably there as an informant. It was when those soldiers surrounded us then he appear from behind a building and he was also the one making all the calls.

Despite the ordeal, Sonia said: “The incident cannot spoke me from going to visit my brother in Kuje, unless they want him to die there.”

Attempts to reach army spokesperson Sani Usman on the incident was futile as his mobile line did not connect.

Also Usman is yet to reply an inquiry sent to his phone on the matter.

But counsel to Kanu, who spoke to NAIJ.com said the incident was a total ambush and hostage situation perpetrated by the military.

Kanu’s lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor said: “A team of soldiers numbering about 12, fully armed to the teeth apparently acting through an informant was trailing Nnamdi Kanu’s family members.”

Stating that the team of soldiers were led by one Major Yushau, Ejiofor said the news of temporary abducted of Princess and her family member is shocking.

“It is to say the least, the height of brazen violation of our laws. While under prison custody, the law allows all inmates including Nnamdi Kanu to receive visitors including family members, provided that the visitors subject themselves to requisite security screening before gaining entrance,” Ejiofor, Kanu’s lawyer said.

He further noted that all intending visitors are also to be guided by the rules and regulations operational in the prison custody.

“This development is a clear attempt to ban Nnamdi kanu from receiving visitors including his family members, as the intendment is to instil fears on people that may wish to pay him visit.

“When this is achieve, his life will then be exposed to more dangers in detention. Especially, against the backdrop of visible but repeated threats to his life.

“We must challenge this abduction, intimidation and harassment in a court of law, as it is a clear violation of the constitutional rights of the citizens that paid him visit.

“We are still investigating further details provided with a view to coming up with the appropriate cause of action, deserving in the circumstance. This lawlessness and impunity must stop.

“We find it extremely unacceptable as it offends all known democratic norms,” he concluded.

Shut up, is Biafra is nation? Whether Nigeria is s country or a nation, it does not matter, so far billions of people around the world refer to Nigeria as s nation or country. Nobody cares about the opinion of minorities like Ipob on what u call Nigeria, because at the end of the day, it will end in talk and no action. U people keep saying Biafra existed before Nigeria, but u fail to tell us ur first king, president or prime minister. Even if u were an autonomous community then, can u give me the name of one leader? Please tell me how Biafra is a nation, I am eager to understand.

Before Nigeria existence, there was no country in the present Nigerian territory. There was only kingdoms like in the north, the Benin empire, the igbos leaved in an autonomous society, with the chief as leader of each. There was nothing like Biafra back then, even if there was, it's simply the name of an area, and not a country or identity of the people there. So in ur depraved mind u want Nigeria to go back to what it was before amalgamation? Which means u want the Edo empire, and other primitive kingdoms that existed. Nobody got time for that. U are living in the past. Maybe the Italians should also go back and form the old Roman Empire and invade and annex all the territories they had before which are now countries.

BeeBeeOoh have some map for you so go through it before you reach climax in your confusion. An organic nation is formed naturally by people of similar or the same value system coming together, the name giving to them is just for formalities sake so you see why in next 500 billion years Nigeria can't form a nation.

Because many tribes may be there does not mean u agreed to be together because it was never a country.

The Bight of Biafra (also known as the Bight of Bonny) is a
bight off the West African coast, in the easternmost part (beyond the Bight of Benin to the West) of the Gulf of Guinea. It extends from the River Delta of the Niger in the north until it reaches Cape Lopez in Gabon.[1]
Countries located at the Bight of Bonny are Nigeria (eastern coast), Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea (Bioko Island and Rio Muni), and Gabon (northern coast).
