Nigerian activist, Deji Adeyanju, has assured that the Department of State Services, DSS, has not killed Nnamdi Kanu, pro-Biafra agitator.
Adeyanju said though DSS has not killed Kanu, it has subjected him to inhumane treatment.
In a tweet, the convener of Concerned Nigerian, urged lawyers of the agitator to insist on Kanu’s transfer to the correctional facility in Kuje.
He wrote: “Nnamdi Kanu is not dead or killed by DSS but they are subjecting him to inhumane & degrading treatment. This is why his lawyers must insist he should be transferred to the Correctional Centre in Kuje.”

DSS had on Monday failed to produce the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, in court.
This led to speculations that Kanu may have been killed by the secret police.
IPOB, however, insisted that Kanu’s lawyer and family members be granted access to him dead or alive.
Meanwhile, the British High Commissioner to Nigeria has offered consular assistance to Kanu.
It is earlier reported that, the Igbo General Assembly of Spain (IGA) (Asamblea General Igbo España) has totally condemned refusal of the Department of State Security Service (DSS) to produce the leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in court.
In an open letter made available to newsmen in Umuahia, IGA’s President, Chief Kingsley Ndibe, said non production of Kanu in court gives credence to the views in some quarters that the activist may not have fair trial in Nigeria.
The open letter, which also, signed by its Vice President, Mazi Iroegbu and Political Strategist, Ifeanyi Okongwu, also condemned what it called the abduction of Kanu in a foreign land in violation of law, diplomacy and basic principles of the rule of law.
The group demanded for the immediate and unconditional release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, saying that the abduction by both the Kenyan government and Nigerian governments shows how desperate the two countries are muzzling opposition and clamping down on activists.
According to it, Igbos have been wrongly and unfairly treated in the geopolitical space called Nigeria, adding that the likes of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB group have consistently frowned and expressed deep disappointment over the marginalization of Igbos under President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
It warned the Federal Government of Nigeria against using it as an excuse to clamp down on agitators in the Southern Nigeria, but should use it as a political issue that should be addressed amicably for the interest of the nation
