Nnamdi Kanu Begs Presidents Tinubu To Release Him For Medical Reasons

Nnamdi Kanu’s special attorney, Aloy Ejimakor, has pleaded with President Bola Tinubu to persuade the Department of State Service (DSS) to let his client receive independent medical treatment. The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader is a proscribed organization.

In a tweet on his account, he made the plea and said that the IPOB leader requires immediate medical attention, especially for his ear.

“Dear President Tinubu: A few days ago, I passionately urged you to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. You haven’t.

“Today, I respectfully urge you to direct the SSS to immediately permit Mazi Nnamdi Kanu the freewill to seek independent medical care, particularly for the ear surgery he needs as of now,” he wrote on Wednesday.

In an earlier tweet, the legal practitioner claimed he had gone “through so much trouble to advance the cause of arranging proper medical care” for the IPOB leader. He, however, accused the secret service of not allowing that to happen.

The lawyer thereafter attached a copy of a letter to the tweet that was personally signed by him.

Dated June 6 June and addressed to DSS Director-General, Ejimakor said it was in response to one of Kanu’s medical reports believed to have been made by the medical unit of the secret service.

“This letter serves as a formal introduction as well as an accreditation for the two doctors who have been selected by the Kanu family to examine Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s medical records/report generated by the SSS medical unit,” the letter read.

Ejimakor identified the medical doctors as Uche Ukwuije, a consultant Otolaryngologist, and David Ukoha, a family physician.

After going through so much trouble to advance the cause of arranging proper medical care for Onyendu #MNK, the DSS made sure it didn’t happen. This will not stand. Onyendu must get the proper medical care that he needs from physicians of his own choice. pic.twitter.com/Y5zyvEIXwm
