The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has accused the Department of State Services, DSS, of allegedly assigning a "quack" into the team of doctors incharge of the health of it's detained leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has accused the Department of State Services, DSS, of allegedly assigning a "quack" into the team of doctors incharge of the health of it's detained leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
IPOB spoke in a statement on Thursday, noting that the said quack doctor was from Daura, in Katsina State, pointing out further that, the DSS had been playing hide and seek game over Kami's health status.
It was reacting to alleged propaganda being engineered by the secret police on the alleged denial of proper and adequate treatment for Kanu.
The statement signed by Counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, Onyedikachi Ifedi read, "We have read with utter dismay the latest propaganda being churned out by the DSS through their willing media collaborators, particularly The Nation, purporting to “fault” Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s revelations on the quack medical attention to which he has been subjected.
"This is yet another episode in the DSS’s shameful attempt to weaponise its cosy relationship with sections of the Nigerian media to misinform the public and malign our client.
"The facts are simple and indisputable: the DSS has been playing hide-and-seek with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s health. Despite being present during his medical examinations and tests, the DSS suddenly introduced one Dr. Nasiru Mohammed, an individual with questionable credentials and no demonstrable competence in handling life-threatening cardiovascular conditions.
"This individual is from Daura in Katsina State as Buhari and he was delegated to Kanu’s medical team to carryout a special assignment for former AGF Malami and the caliphate. A quack doctor catapulted from obscurity into Mazi Kanu’s medical matter without the faintest clue of the grave dangers associated with potassium depletion in the bloodstream—a condition our client faces.
"If indeed the DSS has nothing to hide, why has it refused to release the full and unedited test results for the world to see? Instead, like a petty thief caught in the act, the DSS has resorted to desperate lies and media smokescreens. Why also did the DSS have to fly Mazi Kanu’s blood samples to South Africa for analysis if, as they falsely claim, nothing is wrong with him? This singular act exposes the hollow nature of their propaganda.
",iff bears repeating that a security agency which does not even understand the clinical implications of aortic valve regurgitation or congestive heart failure has no business presuming to oversee the healthcare of a man whose life is already endangered by their reckless detention conditions.
"We hereby challenge the DSS to convene an open press conference where independent journalists and medical experts can freely interrogate them on the state of Mazi Kanu’s health. If the DSS is so confident in its position, it should subject itself to the disinfecting sunlight of public scrutiny.
"Unfortunately, the modus operandi of the DSS has always been to intimidate doctors into watering down their medical reports so as to fit the government’s preferred narrative, in order to deceive the courts into believing that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is well. The tragedy of Nigeria’s judicial system is that these Abuja-based courts, steeped in bias against the Igbo, often oblige them without question.
"This pattern of lies, concealment, and medical quackery must end. The health and life of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu are not pawns in the DSS’s propaganda war. We will continue to expose every falsehood and hold the DSS accountable before Nigerians and the international community."
