How Kanu Almost Escaped Arrest - DSS

The DSS has given detail how leader of IPOB, Kanu was arrested
The DSS explained that if not for the expertise of its men, Kanu could have slipped away from the watchful eyes of the service that had been on his trail.
It disclosed that Kanu allegedly lodged into a Lagos hotel using fictional name in order to evade arrest.


The Nigerian secret police stated further how arms and ammunitions were recovered from the home of one of Kanu’s close associates – Benjamin Madubugwu – at Ubulusiuzor town, in Ihiala local government area Anambra state.



This fresh information is contained in court documents filed along a fresh six-count charge filed against Kanu, Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi, The Nation reports.
According to the DSS operative that led the team that arrested Kanu, Temisan John, noted that accused person was arrested on October 14, at the Golden Tulip Essential Lagos Airport Hotel in Lagos.


He disclosed that Kanu was nabbed in a company of a lady.
“On arrival at the hotel, the staff denied having Kanu in the hotel or having any knowledge of him even when shown his photograph. The hotel’s guest manifests for about five days were also printed and the name was not found on any.


“However, relying on accurate intelligence, the team decided to conduct a physical search on all the hotel rooms, leading to the arrest of Kanu in Room 303, where he was caught hibernating with a young girl named Maryam Ibezimakor, with all his broadcasting and communication gadgets set for use.


“It was then discovered that Kanu checked in under the name Nwanekaenyi Ezebuiro. He was subsequently arrested and taken to the command headquarters,” John narrated.
