According to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, their incarcerated leader, is suffering from deteriorating health conditions and requires immediate heart surgery.
The IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, announced this in a statement on Friday.
He asserted that Kanu, who was taken to an "ill-equipped" DSS clinic in Abuja as he describes it, on February 27, 2023, for treatment of a medical emergency needed personal medical attention.
Rushing him to the DSS clinic, according to him, is only for show and can worsen his health.
The partially read, “The attention of the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has been drawn to the continued deteriorating health of our Leader Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu who was rushed to an ill-equipped DSS clinic on a medical emergency in Abuja on Monday, February 27, 2023.
“We are aware that the Nigeria Government and her DSS, including the British High Commissioner in Abuja, planned to kill Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu in DSS solitary confinement but they should also be ready for the consequences.
“Our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, is critically ill in the DSS solitary confinement and must be released unconditionally to attend to his deteriorating health urgently. The Nigerian government must do the needful now that there is time to avoid negative consequences that may follow.”
