Swiss Embassy denials family of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra VISA to honour invitation by UNITED NATIONS
THE family of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous
People of Biafra, IPOB,
has condemned
the Embassy of Switzerland in Abuja for allegedly denying travelling visa to
members of the family invited by the United Nations to the 116th United Nations
Human Rights Working Group on Enforced and Involuntary Disappearances.
According to Prince Emmanuel Kanu, Nnamdi Kanu’s younger brother, the family
members were invited by UN as key witnesses of the alleged mass murder
committed by the Nigerian security operatives when the family compound was
invaded on September 14, 2017, during the Operation Python Dance ll conducted
by the Nigerian Army.
He accused the Embassy of “conspiracy, collusion and unholy
dealings with Abuja to frustrate the family and help the Nigerian state escape
punishment.” Kanu further disclosed that some Amazonians fleeing persecutions
in the Camerouns were equally denied visa by the Swiss Embassy, alleging that
it was a clear indication that the Embassy was colluding with “oppressive
administrations to suppress freedom fighters.”
He therefore appealed to the UN as well as the United States
of America and other human rights promoting nations to prevail on the Swiss
Government to change their decision and issue visas to the invitees so that the
UN could get first hand information from them.
