According to the intelligence agency the allegations was against its Standard Operation Procedure on the implementation of rights of a suspect, adding that Kanu is enjoying full luxury at its custody. The public relations officer of the DSS Dr. Peter Afunanya while addressing a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday said Kanu is being given VIP treatment in its custody contrary to claims that he is being denied basic needs. “On IPOB and the alleged ill-treatment of its detained leader, the Service has, without any fear of contradiction, applied restraint in making public statements over the matter. The reason is simply because it avoids joining issues especially over a matter that is sub-judice. But for the sake of transparency and democratic accountability, the Service has decided to make some clarifications,” He said. “The service denies all the inciting allegations by IPOB and states that Nnamdi Kanu is not, in any way, maltreated in custody. Accusations of maltreatment negate the Service’s Standard Operation Procedure on the implementation of rights of a suspect.
