This Suit was instituted on the 2nd February, 2023, by Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s Legal Team, ably led by the legal iroko of our time – Prof. Mike Ozekhome, SAN, to compel the State Security Service and its Director General, vide an Order of Mandamus, to allow Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu unhindered access to Medical Doctors of his choice, to enable them conduct an independent medical examination of Onyendu’s present health condition.
We further sought for an order compelling the SSS, to avail Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu with the comprehensive medical records of Onyendu since the 29th day of June 2021 till date, for an independent review and opinion.

This matter came up for Hearing on the 22nd day of May, 2023 but the Court did not sit, hence, the assignment of today’s date for the Hearing of the Application.

Today, Onyendu’s indefatigable legal team, ably led by the Man of Letters, Prof. Mike Ozekhome, SAN, was on hand to deliver it in the only language the Law and Court understands, and it was indeed an excellent outing.

The application was heard on its merit and consequently, adjourned to the 20th day of July 2023, for Judgment.

Meanwhile, Onyendu’s lead Counsel – Prof. Mike Ozekhome, SAN, only yesterday, wrote to the Director General of the State Security Service, requesting him to allow Onyendu access to his Medical Doctors visiting to interface with him and receive his formal engagement, if satisfied with the outcome of his meeting with them.

Be assured, Ezigbo UmuChineke, that we shall not leave any stone unturned to ensure that Onyendu did not only regain his freedom but have that done unconditionally.

Let me use this medium to further assure Ezigbo UmuChineke that Onyendu’s legal team, ably led by Prof. Mike Ozekhome, SAN, is more resolute than you can ever imagine, to ensure that Onyendu is freed as soon as possible. The legal team’s feet are standing firmly, and there is nothing, I mean, no amount of distraction, can shift our eyes from the ball.

The full clip of the press briefing conducted by our erudite Lead Counsel, Prof. Mike Ozekhome, SAN, attached herein is very compelling, reassuring and soul lifting.

Forward, we move, and backward never!

Thank you Ezigbo UmuChineke and remain hugely blessed.

We move!

Signed:
Sir Ifeanyi Ejiofor, Esq. (KSC)
IPOB’s Lead Counsel.
