Former Governor of Anambra State, Chris Ngige, has expressed worry over the mental health of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
He asserted that Kanu is exhibiting bizarre symptoms and argued that doctors from the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) who did a psychiatric evaluation on the agitator were wrong.
Ngige shared his reservations with newsmen when former presidential candidate Peter Obi visited him to commiserate over the attack on his convoy.
He said, “My own take is that Nnamdi Kanu’s case is for a political solution. I met President Buhari on that. Governor Soludo has also said that he wants Kanu to be released to him, but even if they don’t want to release him to us, they can release him to Britain.
“Why I say so is because the symptoms he is exhibiting are bizarre. I’m not a psychiatrist, but I know that something is wrong. Even the NMA people who went to do a psychiatric evaluation on him were wrong. They should look at that other part of it. They should look at that other component. There is mania there, and when you have such a situation, the court normally discharges the person. That is my take. This is elementary psychiatry, and I’m a medical doctor.”
