The Indigenous People of Biafra,( IPOB), has allged that the Directorate of State Security, (DSS) is playing hide-and-seek game with its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu\u2019s health, despite being present during his medical examinations and tests.<\/p>\n
IPOB stated this in a statement by the Counsel to Kanu, Onyedikachi Ifedi Esq who said that the DSS suddenly introduced one Dr. Nasiru Mohammed, an individual with questionable credentials and no demonstrable competence in handling life-threatening cardiovascular conditions.<\/p>\n
According to him, Mohhammed is an individual from Daura in Katsina State who was allegedly delegated to Kanu\u2019s medical team to carryout a special assignment for former AGF Malami and the caliphate.<\/p>\n
The statement made available to journalists on Thursday partly read, “The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB have read with utter dismay the latest propaganda being churned out by the Department of State Services (DSS) through their willing media collaborators, particularly The Nation, purporting to \u201cfault\u201d Mazi Nnamdi Kanu\u2019s revelations on the quack medical attention to which he has been subjected.<\/p>\n
This is yet another episode in the DSS\u2019s shameful attempt to weaponise its cosy relationship with sections of the Nigerian media to misinform the public and malign our client. Facts are simple and indisputable.<\/p>\n
“A quack doctor was catapulted from obscurity into Mazi Kanu\u2019s medical matter without the faintest clue of the grave dangers associated with potassium depletion in the bloodstream\u2014a condition our client faces.<\/p>\n
“If indeed the DSS has nothing to hide, why has it refused to release the full and unedited test results for the world to see? Instead, like a petty thief caught in the act, the DSS has resorted to desperate lies and media smokescreens.<\/p>\n
“Why also did the DSS have to fly Mazi Kanu\u2019s blood samples to South Africa for analysis if, as they falsely claim, nothing is wrong with him? This singular act exposes the hollow nature of their propaganda.<\/p>\n
“It bears repeating that a security agency which does not even understand the clinical implications of aortic valve regurgitation or congestive heart failure has no business presuming to oversee the healthcare of a man whose life is already endangered by their reckless detention conditions.”<\/p>\n
IPOB further challenged the DSS to convene an open press conference where independent journalists and medical experts can freely interrogate them on the state of Mazi Kanu\u2019s health.<\/p>\n
“If the DSS is so confident on its position, it should subject itself to the disinfecting sunlight of public scrutiny.<\/p>\n
“Unfortunately, the modus operandi of the DSS has always been to intimidate doctors into watering down their medical reports so as to fit the government\u2019s preferred narrative, in order to deceive the courts into believing that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is well. The tragedy of Nigeria\u2019s judicial system is that these Abuja-based courts, steeped in bias against the Igbo, often oblige them without question.”<\/p>\n
It warned that such pattern of lies, concealment, and medical quackery must end, saying, the health and life of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu are not pawns in the DSS\u2019s propaganda war. We will continue to expose every falsehood and hold the DSS accountable before Nigerians and the international community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
