Nnamdi Kanu granted permission to apply for independent medical care | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News ⬇️
The Federal High Court in Abuja has granted the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra , Nnamdi Kanu, permission to apply for an order of mandamus to compel the Department of State Service to allow him unfettered access to medical care.
Justice Binta Nyako heard an ex-parte application filed by Nnamdi Kanu and directed his legal team to serve all relevant processes on both the DSS and its Director General, who were cited as the first and second respondents in the matter. The IPOB leader claimed that his health condition has worsened following his detention and alleged torture, inhuman treatment, and degradation, including a mild cardiac arrest before his return to Nigeria.
In a verifying affidavit, Kanu told the court that before his arrest and rendition, he visited a Specialist Cardiologist every week for medical examination and treatment. He also said that his health condition has continued to deteriorate since being held in solitary confinement and exposed to daily mental and psychological torture.
