Bar Aloy Ejimakor, Lead Counsel to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has lamented how the Department of State Services (DSS) denied doctors access to his client during an emergency.
Kanu’s doctors had arrived at the DSS headquarters in Abuja to give proper care to the IPOB leader, as DSS proclaimed its incapacity to handle the situation.
Confirming the development, Ejimakor, via a Twitter post, confirmed on Wednesday that Kanu did not receive medical attention from his doctors as the secrete police did not allow tmem.
“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,” Ejimakor wrote.
“This problem was diagnosed by DSS doctors some 3 years ago and they confessed to their lack of the expertise to treat the problem, which in all probability is the cause of #MNK’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 without any medical intervention to ascertain whether the blood potassium level is within the clinically acceptable range,” he said, adding that “the DSS is well aware that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is susceptible to potassium deficiency which affects the function of the heart.”/###
