Nnamdi Kanu Entered Kenya On His British Passport — Report

More evidence has continued to surface concerning the authenticity of the location where Nnamdi Kanu, the embattled leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) group was arrested.

Recall there have been many rumours as to where he was arrested with country names like Holland, Ethiopia, Czech Republic, United Kingdom and Kenya coming up.

Kenya however has been repeatedly asserted by the IPOB’s leader’s family, but the Nigerian government and Kenyan authorities have denied such collaboration.

Speaking to the Guardian UK, Kanu’s brother, Kingsley Kanu, said he had spoken to him (Nnamdi Kanu) while he was in Kenya, days before he went missing in June.

“I spoke to him on the phone, he was well, in Nairobi. His associates said he went out, he didn’t take his documents with him so he wasn’t planning on going anywhere. Then all of a sudden we see him paraded in handcuffs in Abuja,” Kingsley said.

“It is an extraordinary rendition, aided by Kenyan authorities,” he said.

“It is an outrage that cannot be allowed to happen. We are holding the Nigerian government and Kenyan government responsible.

“The British government, they know what is happening,” he said, adding that UK officials had made contact with Kanu’s family and legal team and that there were concerns he would be abused in detention.

“I am concerned for his wellbeing because you know how they will treat him,” Kingsley said.

The UK media however stated that evidence at its disposal shows Kanu entered Kenya this year on his British passport on a visa expiring in June. His UK passport remains in Kenya.

Nnamdi Kanu was not in possession of a Nigerian passport, his family said, and he has verbally renounced Nigerian citizenship in broadcasts.

The abduction of a person from a foreign country with the aim of rendition to justice is illegal under international law.
