The team led by the president of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has said the ailment complained about by the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, is not life-threatening.
Justice James Omotosho had ordered the medical team to ascertain Kanu’s actual health status following conflicting claims on the issue by medical experts engaged by the prosecution and the defence.
In the panel’s report, submitted to the court on October 13 by the prosecution team led by Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN), part of which was read in open court during Thursday’s proceedings, it was stated that the defendant’s ailment is not life-threatening.
The team concluded that Kanu was fit to stand trial.
