The Department of State Services (DSS) has allowed the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, to have access to his second medical doctor, an ENT surgeon.
Chronicle NG reports that Nnamdi Kanu, Leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), filed a suit against the Department of State Services (DSS) seeking an order to allow him unhindered access to his medical doctor.
He was examined by an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgeon in Abuja on Wednesday.
A statement by Kanu’s lead Counsel, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, said the DSS allowed the IPOB leader access to a second medical examination in line with a Federal High Court ruling.
Ejiofor disclosed that the ENT surgeon was recommended by Kanu’s wife.
According to Ejiofor, “In line with our avowed assurances to Ezigbo UmuChineke that we shall always keep you abreast of every pertinent development in relation Nnamdi’s legal matters and healthcare, we are pleased to inform Ezigbo UmuChineke that pursuant to the Judgement of the Federal High Court Abuja, delivered by Hon. Justice B.F.M. Nyako on the 20th day of July 2023, and consequential orders made therein, directing the State Security Services (SSS) to allow Nnamdi access to medical doctors of his choice and to be examined outside the facility of the SSS, Kanu was yesterday allowed access to his second medical doctor of his choice.
“Yesterday, being the 16th day of August, 2023, Kanu completed his second medical examination with his ENT surgeon recommended by his amiable wife, and as the protocol demands, I was present to witness the entire process, which was spectacularly seamless.
“The process, which lasted for about an hour, was excitingly medically impactful, especially that the exercise was undertaken by a highly rated and award-winning ENT surgeon in one of the best medical facilities in Abuja.”
