I attended this meeting at the SSS Headquarters Abuja, where Onyendu is being detained in solitary confinement, in the company of Onyendu\u2019s personal Doctor\/Cardiologist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUpon our arrival, the in-house Medical Doctors of the SSS were on the ground to receive us, and in line with the existing protocol, Onyendu was equally present during the presentation of his medical findings and recommendations\/solutions proposed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImplementation of the necessary recommendations was agreed to commence immediately, even as we are optimistic that the treatment will continue at Onyendu\u2019s pace upon his freedom, come the 15th day of December, 2023. Other highlights of the meeting shall remain private.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we prepare for this all important outing on Friday, the 15th day of December 2023, I continue to urge Ezigbo UmuChineke to keep their eyes on the ball and never to be distracted by those whose evil motive is now a matter of public knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe marauders should be assured that no matter how they try, their evil machinations are dead on arrival because Onyendu\u2019s freedom is not optional but must surely and certainly be granted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>IPOB lawyer gives medical update on Nnamdi Kanu ahead Supreme Court judgment<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ahead of the Supreme Court judgment on Friday, the lead Counsel of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6767,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4326,15,1590,1387],"tags":[135,12,1592,180,1595,1169],"class_list":["post-6766","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ipob","category-news","category-nnamdi-kanu","category-supreme-court","tag-court","tag-ipob","tag-kanu","tag-news","tag-nnamdi","tag-supreme"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6766","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6766"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6766\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6767"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6766"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6766"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6766"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
