Ohanaeze sent a warning to the Federal Government of the implications of allowing any harm come upon Kanu by not allowing his personal doctor access to him nor allowing him access to required drugs for his ailment.
Reacting to the information released by Kanu’s lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor on Monday on the deplorable state of the IPOB leader’s health, Ohanaeze expressed worry that the Department of State Services (DSS) was allegedly treating with utmost contempt and disdain an existing court order that specifically directed that Kanu be granted access to his doctor.
Calling on the government to be mindful of its actions against Kanu Ohanaeze said: ‘It is a common knowledge that the incarceration of Nnamdi Kanu has rather contributed to the enormity of insecurity in the South East and one wonders what will happen if by the utter carelessness, negligence or unnecessary victimisation, something untoward happens to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
