The primary attorney for the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, has disclosed that his client’s condition has gotten worse..

After his routine visit to Kanu, who was being cared for by the Department of State Services, Ejiofor announced that his client had been diagnosed with a digestive ailment.

The lawyer then requested permission for his client to receive medical care from Justice Binta Nyako of a Federal High Court in Abuja.

He said, “Presently, Onyendu is experiencing gastrointestinal disorder, which requires regular intake of antacid and other availing medical solutions, following persistent heartburn.

“Unfortunately, the DSS have denied him the least of the prescribed pain killer tablets that could provide momentary relief.

“Following this development, our erudite lead counsel, Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN) has immediately swung into action to ensure immediate end to this maltreatment and impunity.”

He added, “Nevertheless, we still deem it compelling to place the World on Notice, that should anything untoward happen to Onyendu, the DSS and the Federal Government of Nigeria should be held responsible.

“Orders of the Court must be obeyed, particularly where the Order has not been set aside. The DSS is a creation of the Law and must not be seen to be operating above the Laws of the Land that created it.

“Onyendu extends his heartfelt love and appreciation to you all, UmuChineke for remaining firm and strongly holding the fort.

He is particularly impressed with your uncommon civility, even in the face of endless provocations, he urged you all to keep it up, while believing strongly that ChukwuOkike Abiama’s Grace is leading us towards overwhelming victory, which is no longer far-fetched.”
