    Nnamdi Kanu’s life in danger, doctor takes blood samples 21 times, lawyer alleges

    The life leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, is in danger in the custody of the Department of State Services as his blood had been taken 21 times for an unnamed test, a member of his legal team, Maxwell Opara, said on Monday.

    According to the lawyer, Kanu is battling with hunger as he is being starved of food, while had not been allowed to change his clothes.

    Opara raised the alarm during a press conference after filing a fundamental human rights enforcement suit at a Federal High Court in Abuja.

    The suit is, among others, seeking a doctor from a government-owned hospital who can attend to Kanu’s health.

    “We visited Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and he told us about the conditions to which he is being subjected. He has not been allowed to change his clothes, while he’s also being starved. He also told us that a Doctor came to take his blood samples for 21 times for test but was not told what test they want to conduct on him. We have therefore filed a fundamental human rights enforcement suit in that regard,” Opara told reporters.

    Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the secessionist group, is standing trial for alleged treason against the Federal Government of Nigeria.
