Court grants Nnamdi Kanu unrestricted access to medical doctor

Finally, court grants Nnamdi Kanu unrestricted access to medical doctor

The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has ordered the Department of State Services, DSS, to grant the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, access to a medical doctor of his choice. The court in a ruling on Thursday delivered by Justice Binta Nyako, held that Kanu was constitutionally entitled to have access to his personal physician as well as his medical records.

A preliminary objection the security agency filed to challenge Kanu’s request for his health status to be independently assessed by his own doctor was dismissed as lacking in merit, However, Justice Nyako, held that such 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. The judgement followed a fundamental right enforcement suit that the embattled IPOB leader filed through his team of lawyers led by Prof. Mike Ozekhome, SAN and Sir. Ifeanyi Ejiofor. Specifically, Kanu, in the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/ 2341/2022, said he would need his doctors to conduct an independent examination to ascertain his actual state of health. He prayed for an order of Mandamus, compelling the security agency, to allow him unhindered access to his medical doctors to enable them conduct an independent examination of his present deteriorating health condition, as earlier ordered by the court on October 21, 2021, and as required by the express provisions of section 7 of the Anti-Torture Act, 2017. Likewise, Kanu, sought an order of the court, “to apply for judicial review in the form of an order of Mandamus, compelling the Respondents to avail the Applicant with all his medical records, from the 29th day of June, 2021, till date”. Kanu listed some of the records he would require from the DSS, to include; his admission records, medical and clinical notes, nursing notes, observation charts and documentation during treatment or stay-in-hospital, laboratory test results, pharmaceutical records, radiological scans, images and reports, blood transfusion records, physiotherapy and rehabilitative treatment records, clinical findings, as well as diagnosis and treatment prescribed records. On grounds upon which he filed the application, Kanu, noted that trial Justice Nyako had on October 21, 2021, ordered that he should be allowed access to three persons of his choice, including his medical doctors. Kanu argued that section 7 of the Anti-Torture Act, 2017, provided that a person arrested, detained or undergoing, custodial investigation, shall have the right to demand a physical and psychological examination by an independent and competent doctor of his own choice after interrogation, which shall be conducted outside the influence of the Police or security forces. “The Respondents have repeatedly denied the Applicant access to medical doctors of his choice to independently examine him, contrary to the order of the court made on the 21st October, 2021; and the express provisions of Section 7 of the Anti-Torture Act, 2017”, he added. In a verifying affidavit that was deposed to by one Chimmuanya Emenari, Kanu told the court that prior to the time he was arrested abducted in Kenya and extra-ordinarily rendered back to Nigeria, he visited a Specialist Cardiologist every week for medical examination and treatment. “Medical Reports containing the medical history of the Applicant as was issued by medical specialists managing the Applicant before his abduction in Kenya and extraordinary rendition to Nigeria are hereby attached and variously marked as Exhibits MNK 3, MNK 4 and MNK 5. “That notwithstanding the fact that the Applicant has been discharged by the appellate court and his further detention prohibited, the Applicant is still being held in solitary confinement in the custody of the Respondents, where he is exposed to daily mental and psychological torture and degradation of his human person”. Kanu alleged that upon his “abduction” in Kenya, he was subjected to various forms of brutal torture and inhuman treatment and degradation, all of which worsened his health condition, pursuant to which he suffered a mild cardiac arrest before he was “smuggled back into Nigeria”. “The Applicant’s health condition has continued to take a downward spiral since then. “That various medical personnel that attended to the Applicant whilst in custody, had repeatedly informed him that they could not ascertain the reason for the depletion of potassium in the Applicant’s blood. “That on various occasions, the medical personnel brought by the Respondents took the Applicant’s blood sample and allegedly transported same to South Africa for screening and up till the present, there is no end in sight for their trial-and-error medicare. “That all medical experts that have so far attended to this complex health situation of the Applicant failed to medically fathom the explanation for the continued failure of various treatments so far given to the Applicant, hence their inquiries as to whether the Applicant may have been injected with a dangerous substance by those that abducted him in Kenya before being forcibly smuggled into Nigeria. “That the medical personnel attending to the Applicant in the custody of the Respondents are oblivious of the cause of the Applicant’s health condition and are basically using the Applicant as a guinea pig while carrying out a trial-and-error exercise, as they keep changing his drugs and increasing the dosage without any improvement whatsoever in his health condition. Attached and marked as Exhibit MNK 6 is a copy of the Applicant’s medical report issued by the Respondents. “That the full medical history of the Applicant as contained in his Medical file with the detaining authority were deliberately suppressed, as the facts of the speedy depletion in his potassium content was clearly deleted from the medical report which the Respondents issued to the Applicant. “That the Applicant’s doctor- Dr. CFine Okorochukwu, who had gone to visit him on the 29th August, 2022, and 1st and 15th September, 2022, respectively, was denied access to him, by the Respondents, in flagrant disregard to the Order of the trial court, made on the 21st day of October, 2021, which order directed that the Applicant should be allowed access to three persons of his choice, which persons includes his doctors. Attached and marked as Exhibit MNK8 are copies of the letters forwarding the name of the Doctor to the Respondents. “That following the continued refusal of the Respondents to allow the Applicant access to his medical doctor, on the 12th of December, 2022, the Applicant through his lead Counsel- Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN – wrote to the Respondents and demanded that the Applicant be given unhindered access to his own medical doctors; and further, for the Applicant’s comprehensive medical records. A copy of the said letter is hereby attached and marked as Exhibit MNK9. “That the Respondents roundly ignored the Applicant’s request to be availed of his medical records, and access to his doctors,” the deponent averred. However, the DSS, through its counsel, Mr. A. M. Danlami, challenged the jurisdiction of the court to grant the request. Insisting that Kanu has been receiving adequate medical attention in custody, the DSS attached a feeding schedule that reflected the IPOB leader’s demands for his choice of food. The DSS lawyer further attached an Exhibit he said would show the court that the detained Applicant was “dutifully and clinically on his routine medication.” Besides, it alleged that the detained IPOB leader had earlier filed a similar suit before another court. “We, therefore, urge this honourable court to dismiss this suit in the interest of justice and national security,” DSS lawyer, Danlami, added. However, in her judgement on Thursday, Justice Nyako dismissed the preliminary objection and granted all the reliefs that were sought by the Applicant. It will be recalled that the Court of Appeal in Abuja had on October 13, 2022, quashed a 15-count terrorism charge the Federal Government entered against Kanu, even as it discharged him. However, following an appeal FG lodged before the Supreme Court, the appellate court, on October 28, 2022, granted a stay of execution of its judgement to await the decision of the apex court.

File photo: Man defecates in an open space (Photo source: Google) According to her, the number of people who defecate in the open space is high due to a lack of access to adequate toilet facilities. She also said 90 million Nigerians who have access need to improve their toilet sanitation, going to a recent study conducted on toilets and sanitation in Nigeria. Quoting the study, Adimorah said 60% of toilet owners in Nigeria need to evacuate their toilets, while 45% of the toilets are readily evacuated. She further disclosed that a total of N2.3 billion of sanitation expenses was spent by Nigerian households on toilet emptying in 2021. On the spread of the access, she said of the 774 LGAs in Nigeria, only 102 LGAs are open-defecation free, leaving 672 LGAs vulnerable to open-defecation. Earlier in her remarks, Chief of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) at UNICEF, Jane Bevan, said Nigeria’s current construction rate is 180,000 – 200,000 toilets annually, which she said is grossly insufficient to address the present challenge. Bevan, who described the conference as critical, said that Toilet Business Owners were vital to ending open defecation challenges in Nigeria. In her remarks, the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Water Resources, Ms. Chidinma Okpara said open defecation is about awareness creation and building of toilets to close the huge gaps. According to her, Nigeria needs about 11 million toilet facilities to meet the MDG target on toilets and sanitation target by 2025. This implies that the nation needs at least 3.5 million toilets every year. She explained that her ministry had signed a Memorandum of Understanding with other sister ministries and other relevant organizations to draw more attention to sanitation. She said the MoU is expected to focus on sanitation and open business opportunities to SMSEs in the country country. The conference. Was organised by Federal ministry of Water Resources and ToiletPride Initiative, in collaboration with UNICEF and Lixil.

INEC explains why agents were denied access to election results

INEC officials explain why agents were denied access to election results at 2023 Presidential Poll

Three officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC have explained that the Commission instructed them not to give final copies of election results that were tabulated in a Form EC8A, to some political party agents. The officials also admitted that they couldn’t electronically transmit the polling unit results in real-time using the BVAS device during the 2023 presidential election held on 25 February 2023 across the country. They explained this in court on Friday during the hearing of the petition candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, filed to challenge the outcome of the 2023 election. Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar The officials testified before the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) in Abuja that they were hired as Ad-hoc staff for the general elections. They further told the court that as Presiding Officers, they conducted the presidential election at their various polling units and subsequently handed the results to the Ward Collation Officers, saying that they were warned not to give copies of the results to any agent of a political party that failed to sign the result sheet. Recall that President Bola Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima and the All Progressives Congress, APC  had opposed the decision of the petitioners to produce five ad-hoc staff members of the electoral body that participated in the conduct of the presidential election, to testify as witnesses before the court. However, despite the objections, Justice Haruna Tsammani-led five-member panel of the court, gave the former Vice President, Atiku, the nod to produce the five witnesses. The court said it would reserve its ruling on the objections and deliver the same at a later date. Whereas two of the witnesses testified on Thursday, the remaining two gave their evidence on Friday.
