Nnamdi Kanu

The detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has petitioned the Department of State Services (DSS), requesting immediate medical care.

The letter, signed by Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, Special Counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, and addressed to the  Director-General of DSS followed the worsening state of the IPOB leader’s health in the secret police custody.

The letter, dated September 23, 2025, and titled, 

“RE: REQUEST FOR YOUR URGENT APPROVAL OF HOSPITAL FOR THE ADMISSION OF MAZI NNAMDI KANU”, sought urgent admission of Kanu in the hospital.

“With reference to the latest medical evaluation of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by your team of physicians (in the presence of his brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu), we hereby seek your kind and urgent approval of the hospital selected for the prompt admission and further management of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's health.”


According to the letter, the selected hospital is Clover Hospital, located at No. 11 Agadez Crescent, Wuse Zone 2, Abuja, while the contact physician is Dr. Michael Eze (09030390924).

“Due to the urgency of the situation, the hospital has kindly scheduled to receive Mazi Kanu as soon as practicable between today and tomorrow. Your kind cooperation in this regard will be highly appreciated,” 
the letter added. 

It was gathered that on Tuesday, September 23, that IPOB raised the alarm over the worsening health condition of Kanu, warning the Nigerian government and its international partners that there will be dire consequences if anything happens to Kanu.


IPOB accused the DSS of deliberately endangering Kanu’s life through prolonged detention and poor medical care.

The group said the situation had reached a breaking point, warning that “any further deterioration” could spark a crisis with grave consequences for Nigeria and the wider region.

IPOB likened the situation to historic global flashpoints, comparing Nigeria’s continued detention of Kanu to the events leading up to the First World War.  

The group insisted that the extraordinary rendition of Kanu from Kenya in 2021 violated international law, and described his continued detention as an act of provocation that risked plunging the South-East into turmoil. 

The Biafran group also accused the British government of complicity, claiming that London’s “neo-colonial interests” had emboldened Abuja to keep Kanu in custody.
