A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has issued an order to the Department of State Services (DSS) to allow Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), access to his medical records and the doctors of his choice.
The court’s decision comes as a crucial step towards ensuring the fundamental rights of Nnamdi Kanu, who has been in custody. The order grants him the right to seek medical attention from the doctors he deems fit, and also access to his medical records.
This ruling is likely to be seen as a major relief to Kanu’s legal team and supporters, who have been advocating for his right to proper medical care and access to medical professionals of his preference.
As the situation unfolds, the compliance by the Department of State Services with the court’s order will be closely monitored, and Nnamdi Kanu’s well-being remains a matter of concern for many.
