One of the counsels to the detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Maxwell Opara has petitioned the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN), alleging that some medical doctors employed by the DSS were unprofessional and reckless when examining the secessionist,

It could be recalled that the pro-Biafran agitator is currently in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) and standing trial for a treasonable felony.

Maxwell, who made the allegation against the DSS in the petition issued on Tuesday added that another doctor signed a medical report on Kanu, without any examination or diagnosis.

According to him, “Kanu confronted the Doctor and asked him how he wrote and signed a medical report of a patient that he neither met nor examined?”

Opara who complained that the DSS doctors are reckless and incompetent alleged that Kanu had been battling medical challenges but was being denied access to his personal doctors.

He said, “He (Kanu) complained about the said Doctors of their recklessness, incompetence and unprofessionalism in their practices towards him. Despite his request for his personal Physician, they continued to take his specimen without giving him any result.

“As a result of these ugly unprofessional medical activities, MNK instructed me to file an Enforcement of Fundamental Right action against the DSS.

” We filed the said Enforcement suit as instructed, while the suit is pending in court, the DSS on the 15th of March, 2022 assembled some Doctors at the DSS and brought MNK out and handed him what they referred to as his medical report.

“According to MNK he quickly peruse the purported medical report and he discovered that his major potassium illness which he has been his routine drugs over the years was not contained in the said medical report, he started questioning the authenticity of the report and immediately discovered that the person who signed the report never met him.

“He confronted the Doctor and asked him how he wrote and signed a medical report of a patient that he neither met nor examine. The said Doctor couldn’t respond…”
