Ifeanyi Ejiofor, the lead attorney for Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, or IPOB, provided an update on the agitator’s medical problems before to the Supreme Court’s ruling on Friday.
Kanu will continue receiving treatment, according to Ejiofor, regardless of the Supreme Court’s ruling.
Ejiofor made hints about the medical examination that was done on Kanu’s condition in a post on X.
On Friday, the Supreme Court will determine Kanu’s destiny.
Since his arrest and unique rendition from Kenya in 2021, the leader of IPOB has been detained by the Department of State Services, or DSS.
Ejiofor said:
“You will recall that during my exclusive interview on Radio Biafra, which took place last Sunday, the 10th day of December 2023, I confirmed to Ezigbo UmuChineke that about 24 hours after I raised alarm in my public statement titled “THE INJUSTICE AND PREJUDICE MAZI NNAMDI KANU HAS SUFFERED IN THE HANDS OF THE NIGERIAN STATE SINCE 2015 TILL DATE”, published on 29th November 2023, I was called and notified that FINDINGS on the medical investigations on Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, which was part of the concerns that I raised in the statement was ready for onward transmission to him.
“Further effort that I made to ensure that a meeting took place any day last week could not materialize due to the bureaucratic schedule of the detaining authority – the State Security Service (SSS).
“However, the meeting was eventually fixed for yesterday, the 12th day of December 2023. I attended this meeting at the SSS Headquarters Abuja, where Onyendu is being detained in solitary confinement, in the company of Onyendu’s personal Doctor/Cardiologist.
“Upon our arrival, the in-house Medical Doctors of the SSS were on the ground to receive us, and in line with the existing protocol, Onyendu was equally present during the presentation of his medical findings and recommendations/solutions proposed.
“Implementation of the necessary recommendations was agreed to commence immediately, even as we are optimistic that the treatment will continue at Onyendu’s pace upon his freedom, come the 15th day of December, 2023. Other highlights of the meeting shall remain private.
“As we prepare for this all important outing on Friday, the 15th day of December 2023, I continue to urge Ezigbo UmuChineke to keep their eyes on the ball and never to be distracted by those whose evil motive is now a matter of public knowledge.
“The marauders should be assured that no matter how they try, their evil machinations are dead on arrival because Onyendu’s freedom is not optional but must surely and certainly be granted.”
