Aloy Ejimakor, lead counsel for Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), has raised an alarm over Kanu’s deteriorating health and alleged denial of medical attention by the Department of State Services (DSS).
In a tweet on (link unavailable), Ejimakor disclosed that Kanu was found unwell during a visit on Monday, exhibiting shortness of breath, low blood pressure, and general discomfort. He stated that a request for a doctor’s visit was submitted but denied by the DSS.
Ejimakor wrote, “Yesterday, during our visitation with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, we found him ill, with shortness of breath, low BP, and general malaise. For this reason, he requested to see his doctor, and we submitted a letter in this regard. Today, the doctor arrived at the DSS but was denied access to #MNK.”
This development comes after IPOB called on the Federal Government to release Kanu in March, citing his deteriorating health in detention. His family had also urged President Bola Tinubu to ensure Kanu receives proper medical attention, specifically from a cardiologist, to prevent his death in DSS custody.
