Court Orders NMA to Verify Nnamdi Kanu’s Health Within 8 Days

Justice James Omotosho, delivering the ruling on Friday, ordered that the medical team’s findings be submitted to the court within eight days. He explained that the report would guide the court in deciding on Kanu’s application to be transferred to the National Hospital in Abuja for comprehensive medical care.

The court instructed the NMA panel to examine the medical facilities at the Department of State Services (DSS) to determine whether they are adequate for Kanu’s treatment. It added that the committee may use any hospital in the country to conduct its evaluation.

According to the order, the panel should consist of 8–10 members, including a cardiologist, a neurologist, and the Chief Medical Director of the National Hospital, who must be part of the team.
