Nnamdi Kanu Might Die In Detention” – Ozekhome Raises Concern Over IPOB Leader’s Health Issues

Nnamdi Kanu’s Senior Counsel, Mike Ozekhome has told the Supreme Court that he is scared that the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) might die in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).

Ozekhome, during the hearing on Thursday, told the apex court that Kanu’s health issues have deteriorated and he needs a surgical operation.

The lawyer asked the court to rule in favour of the transfer of Kanu from DSS custody to Kuje correctional centre so that he can begin treatment

“My Lords, Nnamdi Kanu is sick, he has been approved for surgery but they have refused to release him for treatment.”

“We are pleading for him to be transferred from DSS custody to Kuje correctional centre so that he can begin treatment like others.

“He’s getting really sick, I’m scared he may die in the custody of DSS. Dead bodies are not prosecuted.”

Reacting to Ozekhome’s plea, the apex court responded that God will keep the self-determination agitator alive and that he will not die in detention.

The court said even if it proceeds to hear the appeal, there is no space within its calendar to write and deliver the verdict within the 90-day deadline.

“Nnamdi Kanu will not die in detention. God will keep him alive and his blood won’t be in your hands,” the court said.

The apex court added that the court will hear all the motions in the case on the resumption of hearing on September 14.

Supreme Court Adjourns Nnamdi Kanu Case To September 14

The Supreme Court has adjourned the hearing of the suit filed by Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), to September 14.

Kanu had approached the court to appeal the verdict of the appeal court stopping his release from the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).

During Thursday’s proceedings, the apex court granted the application of the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, to file additional processes in response to Kanu’s filing, which was done on Tuesday.

The apex court said even if it proceeds to hear the appeal, there is no space within its calendar to write and deliver the verdict within the 90-day deadline.

The Court of Appeal had earlier granted a stay of ex*****on on its verdict which discharged Kanu of terrorism charges filed against him by the Federal Government.

In a unanimous decision by a three-member panel led by Justice Haruna Tsammani, the appeal court granted the application filed by the Federal Government pending the hearing and determination of the appeal before the Supreme Court.

Kanu has been in detention since he was brought back from Kenya on June 19, 2021.

On April 8 2022, Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court Abuja struck out eight of the 15 counts in the charge.

The remaining seven counts were later quashed by the court of appeal on October 13.
