Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on Thursday, ordered the Department of State Service to allow the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra,IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, access to a medical doctor of his choice.
The court admitted that Kanu needs urgent ear surgery amidst his reported failing health.
It also ordered that all Kanu’s medical records be made available to the IPOB leader.
Justice Nyako ordered the Department of State Services to monitor, record and seal all medical sessions administered on the IPOB leader, for security purposes.
Nyako had earlier dismissed the preliminary objections filed by the DSS challenging the application before it, on grounds that Kanu has the right to medical services even in detention.
