After much back and forth, an independent medical doctor on Thursday examined Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.<\/p>\n
Kanu\u2019s lead counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, said the doctor was competent and was personally chosen by the IPOB leader.<\/p>\n
Ejimakor disclosed this after leading the legal team on a routine meeting with Kanu at the facility of the Department of State Services, DSS.<\/p>\n
Posting on X, Ejimakor wrote: \u201cThe jinx is finally broken. Today, a very competent doctor, personally chosen by Onyendu #MNK, met & examined him.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt wasn\u2019t easy, counting from last year when this should\u2019ve happened. The indomitable #MnkLegalTeam also met with MNK today. It\u2019s tough but we must not relent.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the past, Ejimakor had accused DSS operatives of refusing to allow Kanu access to an independent medical practitioner.<\/p>\n
During his last court outing, the IPOB leader said he is suffering from congestive cancer, adding that the DSS are not taking his health condition seriously.<\/p>\n
Kanu said: \u201cThe Court is entitled to change its mind. They will change their mind. My right must be respected. My right to fair hearing must be respected.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have congestive heart failure. Basically they want to keep me alive so that when they calculate that I\u2019m about to give up, that my heart is about to pack up, they\u2019ll now say \u2018go.\u201d<\/p>\n
