Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Lead Counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Ifeanyi Ejiofor has disclosed that the Department of State Services, DSS, rejected the one million naira donated for the agitator\u2019s medication and feeding.<\/p>\n

Ejiofor said Mike Ozekhome, leader of Kanu\u2019s legal team, raised one million naira and gave the DSS to get Kanu\u2019s medication but the secret police rejected the money on the grounds that it could purchase the drugs.<\/p>\n

A statement by Ejiofor said the DSS failed to provide the necessary medical attention to Kanu while detaining him despite court orders.<\/p>\n

The statement partly read: \u201cThough our erudite lead counsel \u2013 Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, immediately swung into action to press for the needful to be done without further ado, it is important to point out that only a few weeks ago, a cash sum of N1,000,000 was made available to the DSS by our Lead Counsel \u2013 Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, to specifically be applied for the medical needs, and routine meals of Kanu.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, the detaining authority (DSS) refused to accept the money, insisting that they have all it takes to cater to Kanu\u2019s medical needs and routine meals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recall that Kanu\u2019s Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor had raised alarm over DSS\u2019s inability to feed Kanu and meet his medical needs.<\/p>\n
