Aloy Ejimakor, the lead counsel for Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has revealed new details regarding Kanu’s health condition.
On Tuesday, Ejimakor shared on X.com (formerly Twitter) that Kanu had been experiencing serious health issues, including shortness of breath and low blood pressure. Despite these worrying symptoms, Ejimakor stated that the Department of State Services (DSS) had initially denied Kanu access to medical care.
However, in a follow-up post on Wednesday, Ejimakor announced that the DSS had finally allowed Kanu to see a physician. The doctor’s report, according to Ejimakor, revealed that Kanu is suffering from “complex medical conditions” that necessitate further examination and treatment in a hospital setting.
Ejimakor emphasized the urgent need for Kanu to receive comprehensive medical care, stating that the situation is critical for his client’s well-being. The nature of Kanu’s complex medical conditions has not been fully disclosed, but the severity of the symptoms highlighted by his legal team indicates a potentially serious health crisis.
Nnamdi Kanu has been a controversial figure due to his leadership of IPOB, a group advocating for the independence of Biafra from Nigeria. His detention has sparked significant concern among his supporters and human rights advocates, who argue that he is being unjustly persecuted for his political beliefs.
