The Department of State Services (DSS) has released Nnamdi
Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), to undergo an
independent medical examination.
Kanu’s lead counsel, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, said the IPOB leader
underwent a medical examination in an unnamed hospital in Abuja on Friday.
According to a statement by Ejiofor: “We are pleased to
inform you that Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu met with his choice personal physician
yesterday (Friday) in a hospital in Abuja, outside the facility of the State
Security Service (SSS).
“As part of the protocol, I witnessed the consultation. The
medical examination was seamless and productive, and he (Kanu) will be
progressing to the next stage soon.”
Kanu has been incarcerated by the DSS since June 2021, when
he was arrested and repatriated from Kenya.
While in custody, Kanu repeatedly asked for an independent
medical examination of his health condition.
