 Nnamdi Kanu: Health Threat More Pressing Than Legal Technicalities

By the time you are reading this, there is a good chance you already know that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has written a 'Save My Soul or SMS' letter to the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), pleading for their incorruptible and uncompromising involvement to help deliver him from “sudden death.” 

The informative letter exposed chilling inhuman treatments, narrated the tortuous journey from the point of abduction in Kenya to the forced rendition to Nigeria; quoted copiously and described in detail what many feared in their closet to be an ailment resulting from an intentional torture and poison  — a harbinger of slow death.

The summation of the embodiment and content of the letter is simply a dire need for the health and life of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to be safeguarded from the lawless Nigerian government acting as a proxy for a foreign interest. It is crystal clear that any day that passes with inaction and delay, his health gets worse and may even reach a breaking point, God forbid!

This letter has presented shocking discoveries involving falsification of health report and intimidation of physicians professionally discharging their duty. It has been a full moon of medical discovery highlighting the enormous bending of rules, or in some cases total obliteration of rules, when Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is the accused.

This incessant bias against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu portends enormous danger to his existence. This readily brings to mind the October, 2022 ‘discharge and acquitted’ verdict from the Court of Appeals. In a move that was rather unprecedented, the same court overrode itself and proclaimed a ‘stay of execution’ in what legal luminaries termed a notorious judicial robbery. 

While that Court of Appeals judgement was hurriedly disobeyed by Nigerian government, the IPOB leadership refused any further judicial engagement with Nigeria. While that decision by the Directorate of State of IPOB has proven tangible, the disgraceful restarting of the case by Justice Omotosho has tremendously resulted in a judicial discovery. 

Because the Justice Binta Nyako court hid proceedings from the public, the positive delivery of the Court of Appeals did not feed the public with the cross examinations from both the defense and prosecutor. It was Justice Omotosho’s tenure that sparked public interest leading to enormous discovery of judicial persecution of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and lack of verifiable and substantial evidence against him. It was that shenanigan that solidified the ‘discharged and acquitted’ pronouncement of the Court of Appeals.

It is through the judicial lens and prism of Justice Omotosho court that everyone now agrees that the only defense Mazi Nnamdi Kanu needs is his clean bill of health as his treasonable charge has been made a nullity by a magnificent judicial discovery that provided irrefutable evidence of his innocence.
