In a significant development, Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the separatist Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has been returned to the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) following a brief release for a medical evaluation.
Court’s Order for Medical Evaluation: On July 20, the Federal High Court in Abuja issued an order for the DSS to allow Kanu access to his personal physicians, dismissing the DSS’s initial objection to the request. The court’s decision was prompted by concerns raised by IPOB about Kanu’s health, with suspicions of an ear infection that requires surgery.
