Aloy Ejimakor, the lead counsel for Nnamdi Kanu, has raised concerns about the health of the leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB). In a tweet posted on X.com on Tuesday, Ejimakor claimed that Kanu is ill and is being denied necessary medical attention by the Department of State Services (DSS), where he is currently detained.
Ejimakor stated that during a visit on Monday, Kanu was found to be unwell, exhibiting symptoms such as shortness of breath, low blood pressure, and general discomfort. Despite submitting a request for a doctor’s visit, Ejimakor reported that this request was denied by the DSS. This development has raised significant concerns about Kanu's well-being and the conditions of his detention.
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.”
In March, IPOB called on the Federal Government to release its leader, saying that his health is deteriorating in detention.
