The detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has written a formal petition to the Nigeria Medical Association, alleging manipulation of his medical records and negligent treatment while in the custody of the Department of State Services.
The petition, conveyed through his legal team, was titled “Grave Concerns Regarding My Medical Treatment and Health Management in DSS Custody: Request for Urgent Intervention, Protection of Independent Practitioners, and Immediate Release of NMA Medical Assessment Report.”
The letter, personally signed by Kanu from DSS detention in Abuja and copied to the Registrar of the Federal High Court, Justice James Omotosho, and the DSS Director-General, was made available to The PUNCH on Wednesday through his lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor.
Kanu wrote, “My health, already weakened by my violent abduction in Kenya, has been compromised further by inconsistent, falsified, and sometimes outright negligent medical practices within Nigeria. This letter is intended not only to bring my condition to the formal attention of the NMA but also to invoke the ethical responsibilities of the medical profession under both Nigerian law and international human rights standards.”
