The Nigerian Medical Association established a seven-member investigation panel to examine disagreements between government medical staff and private doctors treating detained activist Nnamdi Kanu. State security medical officers believe their facilities can properly care for Kanu while his personal physicians demand transfer to National Hospital. Defense attorneys argued during Friday court proceedings that their client requires specialized treatment for multiple health conditions affecting his wellbeing.
Government lawyers challenged the private medical assessment as exaggerated and questioned why security medical personnel were excluded from patient evaluations. Federal attorneys expressed concerns about potential security risks and disruptions to other hospital patients if Kanu receives treatment at the public facility. The presiding judge announced a ruling would come later regarding the medical transfer request.
