The Department of State Services has taken in Indigenous People of Biafra leader, Nnamdi Kanu, on Sunday he was allowed to see his personal doctors.
The DSS had released Kanu on Saturday to be attended to by his personal physician.
Kanu’s counsel, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, revealed on Sunday that Kanu, who has been in detention since 2021, had access to his personal physicians and had been taken back into custody.
Ejiofor said, “He has been attended to, and after preliminary examinations, he was taken back.”
The lawyer refused to speak more on Kanu’s health conditions, among others.
Ejiofor confirmed that he witnessed the medical examination, describing it as seamless and productive, adding that Kanu met with his personal doctors on Saturday in a hospital in Abuja outside the facility of the DSS.
He said, “Sequel to our avowed assurance to always keep Ezigbo UmuChineke abreast of pertinent happenings, especially with Onyendu’s health status, welfare, and update on his legal matters, we are pleased to inform you that Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu met with his choice personal physician yesterday in a hospital in Abuja, outside the facility of the State Security Service.
“As part of the protocol, I witnessed the consultation. The medical examination was seamless and productive, and he will be progressing to the next stage soon.”
It would be recalled that tge Federal High Court in Abuja had on July 20 directed the DSS to grant Kanu access to his personal physicians, dismissing the DSS objection to the prayer.
The IPOB said its leader could be suffering from an ear infection and needs surgery.
