The Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB) has cried out that their leader Nnamdi Kanu needs urgent care to rush him out of detention to a specialist hospital where he can be given proper treatment for his deteriorating health.

In a statement today, the IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, noted that Kanu’s deteriorating heart needs urgent medical attention.

He lamented that Kanu, who was rushed to what he described as an ill-equipped DSS clinic for a medical emergency in Abuja on Monday, February 27, 2023, needs his physician to take care of him.

The statement reads in parts: “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.”
