Aloy Ejimakor, lead counsel for the leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has claimed that the IPOB leader is ill and is being denied medical attention.
Ejimakor disclosed this in a tweet on X.com on Tuesday.
According to him, Kanu was found unwell during a visit on Monday, exhibiting shortness of breath, low blood pressure, and general discomfort.
He added that a request for a doctor’s visit was submitted but reportedly denied by the Department of State Services, where Kanu is currently detained.

Ejimakor wrote, “Yesterday, during our visitation with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, we found him ill, with shortness of breath, low BP, and general malaise.
“For this reason, he requested to see his doctor, and we submitted a letter in this regard. Today, the doctor arrived at the DSS but was denied access to #MNK.”
PUNCH reported in March that IPOB called on the Federal Government to release its leader, saying that his health is deteriorating in detention.
His family had also claimed that he needed a cardiologist and urged President Bola Tinubu not to allow him to die in DSS custody.
