Ifeanyi Ejiofor, Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer has said his client is currently suffering a health problem.
Ejiofor said the Separatist is suffering with gastro intestine disorder following persistent heartburns.
He said despite Justice Binta Nyako of a Federal High Court instructing the Department of State Services to allow Kanu receive medical attention, the DSS has refused his client that privilege.
He told journalists on Monday that, “Presently, Onyendu is experiencing gastro intestine disorder, which requires regular intake of antacid and other availing medical solutions, following persistent heartburn. Unfortunately, the DSS has denied him the least of the prescribed painkiller tablet that could provide momentary relief.
“Following this development, our lead counsel, Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN), has immediately swung into action to ensure an immediate end to this maltreatment and impunity.
“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.”
