Counsel to the detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, has said his client has been diagnosed with a gastrointestinal disorder.

Ejiofor in a statement yesterday, said the development followed a persistent heartburn earlier experienced by the secessionist, adding that despite the order of Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja that Kanu should be given serious medical attention, the Department of State Security Services, DSS has been acting on the contrary.

He raised the alarm shortly after visiting the IPOB leader at the DSS Headquarters in Abuja on Monday.

He disclosed that following the health development, lead counsel, Mike Ozekhome SAN has immediately swung into action to ensure immediate end to this maltreatment and impunity.
