The Federal High Court grants Nnamdi Kanu application to have access to a medical doctor of his choice outside the facilities of DSS and all his records made available to him
In a judgment, Justice Binta Nyako, held that the DSS objections to Kanu’s request was unmeritorious.
Justice Nyako held that Kanu was constitutionally entitled to have access to both the records he requested for and medical doctors of his choice.
However, the judge directed that the independent medical examination of Kanu by his personal physicians should be supervised by the DSS with the entire process recorded and sealed for security purpose.
Kanu, through his team of lawyers led by Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, had filed the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/ 2341/2022, against the DSS and its Director General as 1st and 2nd respondents.
In the suit, the IPOB leader prayed the court for an order, granting him leave to, “apply for judicial review in the form of an order of mandamus, compelling the respondents to allow the applicant unhindered access to his medical doctors to enable them conduct an independent examination of his present deteriorating health condition.
