The Department of the State Service, DSS, has disputed the deteriorating health claims made by the Biafra nation agitator, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to support and justify his new request for transfer from the custody of the Department of the State Service DSS to the National Hospital in Abuja.
The security agency while faulting the claims argued that the health issue of Kanu by his Medical Consultant was exaggerated and made in bad faith to send false health narrative challenges to the public.
In a 37-paragraph counter affidavit, opposing Kanu’s bid on movement to the Abuja hospital, DSS averred that it has one of the best medical facilities in the country with capable and qualified personnel that can handle the health issues of the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB.
The counter affidavit deposed to by Dr Mohammed Nasir, a Medical Officer with DSS averred that Kanu is enjoying maximum comfort in its custody, safe, secured and enjoying meals of his choice upon demands.
The agency asserted that at Kanu’s request, several medical Specialists from the National Hospital and the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital were brought for him to cater for his medical care.
DSS insisted that the Biafra nation agitator is in stable health condition and dismissed the claims of suffering deteriorating sickness.
According to the counter affidavit, in July 2021, a Consultant of Heartland Cardiovascular Consultants Limited Dr Onye Achillihu was engaged for the treatment of Kanu.
