Dying Kanu Doesn’t Have Access to Doctor & Health Care
Aloy Ejimakor, Esq, the legal counsel to the incarcerated leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has alleged that the Department of State Services (DSS) has denied the leader access to his personal doctor.
Kanu is still struggling at the court to get his freedom after he was extradited from Kenya to Nigeria when former president Muhammadu Buhari was in power. He has denied wrongdoings but admitted to leading the secessionist group.
The legal counsel revealed that Kanu is battling with terminal diseases including shortness of breath, low blood pressure and general malaise.
According to the lawyer, Kanu had made a request to get medial attention from his personal do for and a letter was written to that effect to the DSS. Yet, the secret police habe denied him access.
Ejimakor said, “Yesterday, during our visitation with Nnamdi Kanu, we found him ill, with shortness of breath, low BP & general malaise.
“For this reason, he requested to see his Doctor & we submitted a letter in this regard. Today, the Doctor arrived at the DSS but was denied access to Nnamdi Kanu.”
In a message sent to SaharaReporters, Ejimakor said, “As a background, the DSS is well aware that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is susceptible to potassium deficiency which affects the function of the heart.
“This problem was diagnosed by DSS doctors some three years ago and they confessed to their lack of the expertise to treat the problem, which in all probability is the cause of Nnamdi Kanu’s current illness.
“This is no doubt very serious and deadly to boot. The readings of the electronic heart monitor supplied by the DSS have been recording low pressure levels for nearly nine days in a row without any medical intervention to ascertain whether the blood potassium level is within the clinically acceptable range.”
