The detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has cried out that his condition has worsened under the custody of the Department of State Services, DSS, as the agency declined his request for an independent medical examination.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
He lamented that he has been solitarily confined to a very tiny cell 23 hours of the day without access to sunlight and any social interactions while any detainee who greets him during the single hour he is allowed outside his cell is promptly put in solitary confinement or transferred to maximum security as a punishment for exchanging mere greetings with him.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
According to a statement by his lawyers, Aloy Ejimakor and Ifeanyi Ejiofor,\u00a0 despite a Court order, the condition of his detention at the DSS continues to be harsh, degrading, and inhumane.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThat the DSS has refused to replace his corrective glasses (lenses) which were smashed to smithereens by agents of the Nigerian government in the process of the violence they unleashed on him while abducting him in Kenya. This has led to a rapid deterioration of his sight.\u201d<\/div>\n
\n

Fearing for his life, Kanu disclosed that the DSS has denied his repeated requests for an independent medical examination to determine the extent of damage done to his body by a suspected substance he may have been injected with during his abduction.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has reason to believe that the said injected substance is depleting the potassium content of his body, thus causing him constipation, a feeling of skipped heartbeats, palpitations, fatigue, muscle weakness\/spasms, and numbness.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is the circumstance of the forgoing, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu continues to have a persistent and heightened feeling of portent threat to his overall well-being and safety within the DSS facility where he is currently detained.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cMazi Nnamdi Kanu, who witnessed the detention before being led\u00a0away was\u00a0very distressed and alarmed by this incident and he considers it a brazen act of intimidation of his Counsel.<\/div>\n
\n

\u201cThat he has, to date, been denied access to the British Consul despite her repeated requests to see him; and on the day of his last court appearance (10th November 2021), the British Consul who was in court to observe the proceedings was intimidated by DSS officers, who restricted her from coming close to Mazi Kanu.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
