Prince Kanu, the younger brother of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has raised concerns over the deteriorating health of the detained separatist leader, who is currently in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).
In a post shared on his Facebook page on Thursday, Prince Kanu urged the public to pray for his brother, who is facing terrorism-related charges brought by the Nigerian government.
According to reports, Nnamdi Kanu has filed a request with the court to be transferred to the National Hospital in Abuja for medical care, citing inadequate treatment at the DSS clinic. He alleges that the medical attention provided at the security agency’s facility is insufficient for his health needs.
Kanu’s lawyers have also alleged that the DSS falsified his medical records.
The court, presided by Justice James Omotosho, had asked the Nigerian Medical Association, NMA, to conduct tests on Kanu to determine his health condition before determining whether his treatment should be moved to the National Hospital.
The non-availability of the NMA medical report stalled the trial on Wednesday, forcing the court to adjourn to October 16, 2025.
Commenting on the development, Prince Kanu, in the post on his Facebook page, said each day the IPOB leader wakes up is a miracle.
Prince Kanu, who condemned those he accused of playing politics with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s health, disclosed that the Biafra agitator’s ailments are getting worse.
He wrote, “I spend each day with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, making sure he gets all the help he needs. I witness pain every day, and I, along with many others, share his suffering.
“I’ll say it again: those of you who are using Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s health problems for political purposes, particularly those who are against his release for proper medical treatment , will have nowhere to hide.
“The pain is getting worse and worse. If you paid close attention yesterday, you would have seen that he was entering the court slowly in order to prevent falling.
“Each day he wakes up is a miracle. Pray for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu ((IPOB Leader).”
