NMA Panel Confirms Nnamdi Kanu Fit for October 23 Trial
The Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) panel has confirmed that the health condition of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), is not life-threatening and that he is fit to stand trial.
A report was presented before the Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday, following an order by Justice James Omotosho directing the NMA to assess Kanu’s medical status.
The order came after conflicting medical reports from experts engaged by both the Department of State Services (DSS) and the defence team.
The report confirms Kanu is fit to stand trial.
