The DSS has denied speculations that Nnamdi Kanu was being maltreated in its facilities.
The public relations officer of the Department of State Services, Dr. Peter Afunanya disclosed this at a press briefing on Tuesday in Abuja.
He said, “The service denies all inciting allegations by IPOB and states that Nnamdi Kanu is not in any way maltreated in custody. The accusation of maltreatment negates the service’s Standard Operation Procedure on the implementation of the rights of a suspect.
“Kanu enjoys full luxury in the holding facility incomparable to any of its type anywhere in the country. He’s accorded full rights and privileges. Adequate attention is paid to Kanu’s health. He has access to medical care and doctors.”
He also urged state, federal lawmakers, and other Nigerians to be vigilant at this period, warning that they are prone to assassinations and abductions among others.
Afunanya said, “Recessing members of National and State Houses of Assembly and other public /private sector workers on vacation may be predisposed to threats of various degrees.
