Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, returned to the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) on Sunday after being allowed to see his physicians on Saturday.
Recall that the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja had on July 20 ordered the DSS to grant Kanu access to his physicians after dismissing their objection to the prayer.
According to IPOB, Kanu is suspected to be suffering from an ear infection and needs surgery.
Counsel for the IPOB leader, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, told newsmen that Kanu, who has been in detention since 2021, had access to his physicians and had been taken back into custody.
Ejiofor said, “He has been attended to, and after preliminary examinations, he was taken back.”
The lawyer, however, declined further comments on his health conditions, among others.
The IPOB counsel tweeted on Saturday that Kanu met with his doctors in a hospital in Abuja outside the facility of the DSS.
Ejiofor, who said he witnessed the medical examination, described it as seamless and productive.
