They later beckoned on their Nigerian Counterpart to take over.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Kenyan Government was deeply involved in the abduction, detention and ill-treatment of my Client before the illegal handover to their Nigerian counterpart.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">A scan of his heart showed that the heart has enlarged by 13% due to the dehumanizing treatment meted to him. There will be need for immediate proper medical examination and attention for him.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Mazi Nnamdi Kanu conveyed his goodwill message to all IPOB family members worldwide, and craved for your unrelentless prayers.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;We are going back to the Court for the needful.
