A former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has warned the Nigerian government over the rearrest of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.
Fani-Kayode, who is known to be a close ally of Kanu, cautioned that the IPOB leader must not die in custody.
In a tweet, he urged the Federal Government to ensure that Kanu is treated with decency and respect while in custody.
“It is no longer news that @MaziNnamdiKanu has been arrested and detained. I advise the FG to ensure that he does not die in custody and that he is treated with decency, decorum and respect,” he tweeted.
The Nigerian government had arrested Kanu and repatriated him to Nigeria to continue his trial.
Abubakar Malami, the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, disclosed that Kanu was arrested on Sunday.
Malami had said the IPOB leader was re-arrested through a combined operation of Nigerian and foreign security agents.
