Aloy Ejimakor, one of the lawyers to the leader of the detained Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu reportedly raised the alarm over his client’s health.
Ejimakor claimed that Kanu bleeds from his nose ostensibly due to the presence of a detainee diagnosed with tuberculosis in the same block with him (IPOB leader).
The detainee, according to the lawyer, was transferred to Kanu’s cell block on Sunday by the Department of State Services (DSS).
There were contained in a post on his Twitter handle yesterday.
Ejimakor called on President Muhammadu Buhari to order the DSS to release his client in compliance with a court order.
He wrote,
“Today(Monday), my associate, Barr Mandela met with Onyendu #MNK at the DSS. He reports that MNK directed me to make it public that he had an episode of profuse nosebleed yesterday(Sunday) & that the DSS has transferred a detainee diagnosed with tuberculosis to his cell block. This is ominous.
“Except for failed nations, there’s no nation that detains a man after his incarceration is municipally & internationally declared illegal, with compensation & apology awarded to him. @MBuhari should do the responsible thing by ending this infamous detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.”
