Nnamdi Kanu Gets Support From British Parliamentarian by Banter1(op): 7:29pm On Oct 28, 2015
The alleged arrest and continued
detention of the popular pro-Biafran
activist and Radio Biafra Director,
Nnamdi Kanu ,has dominated the
Nigerian media for a while now.
A statement published on the website of
Radio Biafra on Saturday, October 17, had
disclosed that Kanu was arrested by the
Department of State Services (DSS) as
soon as he got to Nigeria from the United
Kingdom.
Kanu’s lawyer recently revealed that
the DSS refused to produce Kanu despite
his legal team fulfilling his bail conditions.
Meanwhile, a member of the British
parliament representing Camberwell and
Peckham, Harriet Harman, has written to
the British government asking for details
of Kanu’s arrest, The Scoop reports.
Harriet Harman
The letter which was dated 22nd October,
2015 and addressed to the secretary of
state for foreign and commonwealth
affairs, Philip Hammond, was titled
“Detention of my constituent Mr.
Nnamdi Kanu ”.
Harman description of Kanu as ”my
constituent” buttresses the claim by some
Nigerians that Kanu is not even a Nigerian
citizen as he has since gotten a British
passport.
Harman, who is the deputy leader of the
Labour Party, wrote: “I understand that Mr
Nnamdi Kanu, who I am told is a British
citizen and lives at …was arrested on the
17th October 2015 by the Nigerian
Department of Security Services (DSS)
when arriving in Lagos from the United
Kingdom.
“I understand Nnamdi is the leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) who
are agitating for the independence of
Nigeria’s former Eastern Region. I’m told
that the pro-Biafra group are non-violent
and therefore should be afforded
protection under Article 1 of the charter
of the United Nations.
“I’d be grateful if you could let me know
your understanding of what Nnamdi has
been arrested for,what he might be
charged with, where he has been held and
what consular engagement there has
been.”
Below is the letter written by Harman:
It will be recalled that Biafra supporters
has been protesting against Kanu’s
detention in Rivers and Delta states.
Recently, Kanu appeared in a video
allegedly shot in Los Angeles in the United
States of America circulating
online soliciting for arms to wage a war
against Nigeria.
