The Department of State Security, DSS, has narrated how it caught Radio Biafra director, Nnamdi Kanu at a Lagos hotel on October 14, 2015.

According to Temisan John, a DSS operative who led the team, Kanu was apprehended in the company of a woman at the Golden Tulip Essential Lagos Airport Hotel.

"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 manifest 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.”
