DSS Confirms it holding Nnamdi Kanu. Says he is in safe hands

Nigeria Department of State Services (DSS) - also known as State Security Service (SSS) has been forced to confess that it is holding the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu in their custody. DSS confirmed this to Masterweb following reports of arrest and illegal detention of Kanu, who also doubles as the director of Radio Biafra. DSS added that he was in safe hands.

According to Masterweb on learning of the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, they contacted DSS yesterday on his whereabouts and was told to call back today. Masterweb CEO/Publisher, Chief Charles O. Okereke called back today and was told by DSS that: "He (Nnamdi Kanu) is with us in safe hands and we are carrying out investigations."

In July, Nigeria National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) announced they blocked Radio Biafra signal because it was operating illegally and broadcasting hate messages. Briefing Journalists after the NBC announcement and meeting between officials of Ministry of Information and President Buhari, Dr. Shade Yemi-Esan, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Information said: “Right now the signals from radio Biafra have been jammed successfully by NBC. The commission is also working with security agencies to get those that are behind that radio because it is an illegal radio. It is not licensed by anybody to be on the airwaves in Nigeria.”

Clandestine Radio Biafra contrary to claim by NBC of jamming it still broadcasts on satellite TV dubbed Biafra Television, Internet, FM, AM and shortwave (SW) frequencies; the shortwave they claim covers most of Africa and beyond. Nnamdi Kanu, Radio Biafra Director in a statement posted on their website, described their shortwave radio as “Nuclear War Head”.
