Detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has said he’s suffering from congestive cancer.

Nnamdi Kanu granted an audience to the media during his appearance at the Abuja Federal High Court, on Tuesday.

He said the Department of State Services, in whose custody he has been kept, are not taking his health condition seriously

“The Court is entitled to change its mind. They will change their mind. My right must be respected. My right to fair hearing must be respected.

“I have congestive heart failure. Basically they want to keep me alive so that when they calculate that I’m about to give up, that my heart is about to pack up, they’ll now say ‘go’.

“So that when I go outside, I’ll die outside. That’s what they’re trying to do. The medications they’ve been giving to me have not been working.

“They don’t know what they’re doing. They know they don’t know what they’re doing.”
