Emeritus Professor Martin Aghaji, a medical expert who issued an independent report on the health condition of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, leader, Nnamdi Kanu, has reportedly been arrested in Enugu.
A human rights lawyer, Barrister Maxwell Okpara, raised the
alarm over Aghaji’s arrest in a statement on Saturday.
Okpara said the medical expert was picked up at his
Independence Layout residence in Enugu on Friday.
The lawyer urged the Nigerian Medical Association, NMA,
Nigeria Bar Association, NBA, and civil society organizations to intervene in
the matter.
Although no reason has been given for Aghaji’s arrest,
Okpara noted that the medical report he tendered on Kanu’s health countered the
official version presented by the Department of State Services, DSS.
Okpara said in the statement, “Information has reached me
that Emeritus Professor Martin Aghaji, the medical expert who reportedly issued
independent medical reports on the health condition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, was
arrested at his residence in Independence Layout, Enugu State, on 3rd July,
2026.
“Prof. Aghaji’s reported medical assessments were said to
have countered the official medical report presented by the Department of State
Services, DSS.
“We call on the Nigerian Medical Association, Nigeria Bar
Association, Civil Society Group and other relevant authorities to ensure that
due process and the rule of law is strictly observed and nobody should be
intimidated for speaking the truth.”
