The family of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has demanded clarifications on the arrest and extradition of the separatist leader by Nigerian authorities.

In June, the IPOB leader was arrested in an African country and extradited to Nigeria to face charges of treason.

TheCable had reported how Kanu was lured to a certain African country with money before his arrest.

However, Emmanuel Kanu, brother of the IPOB leader, said the circumstances behind the arrest are “illegal”, adding that the family will not be attending the trial scheduled for July 26 if the authorities refuse to shed light on the situation.

He made the demand on Tuesday while hosting traditional rulers under the aegis of ”Monarchs of Biafran Land”, who came to Umuahia on a solidarity visit.

“We won’t be in court on 26th July until they explain to us how and who kidnapped Nnamdi in Kenya,” he said.

“We need clarifications on what happened and how he was brought to Nigeria illegally.

“Even Britain, whose citizenship he holds, said it needed explanations on what happened. So, we need to know what happened.” (The Cable)
