‘Each day Nnamdi Kanu wakes up is a miracle’ – Brother seeks prayers for IPOB leader

Prince Kanu, younger brother of leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has cried out over the health condition of the agitator, who is detained in the custody of the Department of State Services, DSS.

In a post on his Facebook page on Thursday, Prince Kanu called for prayers for the IPOB leader, who is currently being tried on terrorism charges by the Nigerian government.

DAILY POST reports that Kanu is asking the court to transfer his treatment to the National Hospital, Abuja, alleging that the clinic at the DSS headquarters, where he is being treated, is not giving adequate attention to his ailments.

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 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).”
