A Federal High Court, Abuja, on Friday, dismissed the fundamental rights enforcement suit filed by leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu against the Department of States Services (DSS).

[FILES] Acclaimed leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra , Nnamdi Kanu, with his lawyers at the Federal High Court Abuja.The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Kanu, through his lawyer, Maxwell Opara, had, in a fundamental rights enforcement suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/1585/2021, sued the Director-General of DSS and the office as 1st and 2nd respondents respectively.

He further argued that merely stating that the medical doctors his office assigned to attend to Kanu were quacks did not amount to conflict, adding that Opara had not shown any material evidence to prove that the listed medical practitioners were quacks.The AGF’s lawyer, Simon Enoch, also corroborated Awo’s submission, praying the court to reject Opara’s application.

On the allegation that the IPOB leader was receiving inadequate treatments from DSS’ doctors whom he had referred to as quacks, Taiwo said that “the applicants fails to lead evidence by calling a medical practitioner to convince the court that based on the medical report, the treatment giving to Kanu is inadequate.”Reacting shortly after the ruling, Oprara, in a chat with NAN, said the judgment would be appealed against at the Court of Appeal.
