The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has raised the alarm alleged deteriorating health condition of its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and Nigerian security agencies’ failure to allow his doctors visit him.
In a statement signed by its media and publicity Secretary Emma Powerful,the group said that Kanu’s health has continued to deteriorate “at the Department of State Services, (DSS) dungeon since his illegal abduction in Kenya and criminal repatriation to Nigeria”.
It said every attempt by his personal physicians to gain access to him has been rebuffed by the DSS, thereby worsening his health.
IPOB said it is alerting the world to compell the Nigeria government to grant Kanu’s doctors access to see him for a thorough medical examination.
It urged human rights organizations, UN, AU, EU, ECOWAS and other relevant organizations across the globe “to rise in defense of justice and compel the Nigeria Government and her security agencies to grant their leader’s personal doctors unfettered access to him.
