The Department of State Services, DSS, has allowed personal doctor of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, to visit and examine him in its custody.
Kanu’s Special Counsel, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, made this known via X on Thursday, adding that the struggle to get this done started last year.
Ejimakor disclosed that the legal team also met with the IPOB leader, with an assuring message that they would not relent.
He wrote, “The jinx is finally broken. Today, a very competent doctor, personally chosen by Onyendu #MNK, met and examined him.
“It wasn’t easy, counting from last year when this should’ve happened. The indomitable #MnkLegalTeam also met with MNK today. It’s tough but we must not relent.”
In the past, Ejimakor had criticised DSS operatives over their refusal to allow Kanu access to an independent medical practitioner.
During his last court outing, the IPOB leader said he was suffering from congestive cancer, adding that the DSS was not taking his health condition seriously.
