The member representing Ikwuano/Umuahia federal constituency of Abia State, Hon. Obi Aguocha has paid a visit to one of his constituents, and the embattled leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
The lawmaker visited Nnamdi Kanu in the custody of the Department of States Services (DSS) where he has been detained since 2021.
The visit came after reports emerged that Nnamdi Kanu had been secluded from his lawyers, raising concern on his true state of health.
However, after writing to the leadership of the House and DSS, the lawmaker was eventually allowed to see Kanu, and a resolution was also reached on granting his lawyers access to him.
In a statement on Friday by his media team, Aguocha said he met with Kanu in the company of the IPOB leader’s immediate family member on Thursday, 24th of October 202.
The media team said, “Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is keeping well and looks strong. Hon. Aguocha appreciates the commendable efforts of the new leadership of the DSS in ensuring that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s healthcare needs are met, including the approval of his request for access and attention to private medical care and to a doctor of his choice, to which Hon. Obi Aguocha is pleased to confirm that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has received private medical attention as recent as the 3rd of October, 2024.”
It added, “Furthermore, a resolution was reached regarding the lack of access to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by his legal team, who hereby are granted the requisite access to their client.”
