Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja had ordered the DSS to provide Nnamdi Kanu access to his medical records.
The Court ruled on Thursday that the security agency’s objections to Kanu’s motion were without merit. It went on to say that Kanu is constitutionally entitled to see both the records he requested and the doctors of his choice.
Justice Nyako ruled that the DSS should supervise Kanu’s independent medical examination by his personal physicians, with the entire process being recorded and sealed for security reasons.

In a statement issued on Thursday, IPOB’s chief counsel, Sir Ifeanyi Ejiofor, said Kanu was “extremely excited” by the news from the court and subsequently directed that his appreciation be conveyed to his indefatigable legal team, ably led by Prof. Mike Ozekhome, SAN.
He confirmed that Kanu’s medical examination had begun in earnest by the suggested team of medical professionals, including a cardiologist, surgeon, and otolaryngologist from the leading institutions in Abuja, all of whom were duly approved by Kanu’s wife.
The statement reads in part, “We visited our indefatigable and formidable Client – Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu – today, being the 20th day of July 2023, at the SSS Headquarters, Abuja, where he is still being illegally and unconstitutionally held in a solitary confinement.
