The UK parliament is set to discuss the arrest and detention of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
ABN TV earlier reported that Kanu was arrested in Kenya and brought back to Nigeria under suspicious circumstances.
His lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor claimed that his client was kidnapped and brought back to the country ‘unconscious’ allegedly after being tortured by Kenyan authorities.
However, a notice on the parliament’s official website reveals that Lord Alton of Liverpool would raise the issue at the House of Lords during plenary and will query the Kenyan government on the separatist leader’s transfer to Nigeria.
