I have serious health conditions– Nnamdi Kanu reveals health struggles in DSS Custody, appeals to NMA

Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has disclosed a list of serious health conditions he is currently battling while in the custody of Nigeria’s Department of State Services (DSS).

In a letter of complaint and appeal addressed to the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), Kanu detailed multiple health issues, including tinnitus and sleep deprivation, which he described as among the “gravest threats” to his survival.

Kanu wrote that tinnitus, a condition characterized by a persistent internal sound, “exacerbates my hypertension”, placing him at heightened risk of “stroke, collapse, and sudden death.”

He also disclosed suffering from multiple other conditions, including diseases of the liver, pancreas, kidney, bladder, prostate, and white matter disease, as well as sleep apnea.

However, he emphasised that “most critically, tinnitus, the constant internal ‘chirping’ sound in my ears”, continues to severely affect his health.

The letter, titled ‘The Danger of Tinnitus and Sleep Deprivation’, reads in part: “Among the gravest threats to my survival today is tinnitus. The incessant chirping in my ears is more than a nuisance: It robs me of sleep, sometimes making rest completely impossible; It exacerbates my hypertension.
It magnifies chest pain, fainting risks, and psychological strain; It undermines my body’s natural capacity to heal.”

He recounted a failed medical procedure by DSS doctors, stating: “DSS doctors once proposed to drain fluid from my inner ear but abandoned the plan due to the risk of permanent hearing loss. Since then, no serious effort has been made to treat this condition, even though its effects are cumulative and potentially devastating.”

Kanu further warned about the life-threatening combination of his ailments: “Sleep deprivation, when combined with existing hypertension, organ strain, and potassium instability, places me in immediate danger of stroke, collapse, or sudden death.
Neglect of tinnitus and sleep deprivation shows a reckless disregard for the life-threatening impact of untreated conditions.”

The IPOB leader also accused a DSS-appointed doctor, Nasiru Mohammed, of falsifying his medical records: “From the moment he assumed control, Dr. Nasiru Mohammed began falsifying my test results, recording normal potassium levels when in reality they were dangerously low.
When challenged as to why a potassium, sparing drug like Eplerenone was still prescribed if my potassium was supposedly normal, he provided no medical justification.”

Kanu claimed his health continued to deteriorate under Mohammed’s care: “Under his so-called care, I continued to experience: Frequent nosebleeds; Fainting episodes and near-collapse; Severe light-headedness; Unrelenting chest pains on my left side; Debilitating headaches; Swelling of the feet.

Over 50 blood samples have been taken during my time in DSS custody, but these have yielded no improvement in my health under the management of DSS-appointed doctors.”

He further alleged that the DSS prevented his longtime personal physician, Dr. Cfine, from treating him, using intimidation: “My longtime personal physician, Dr. Cfine, who has treated me faithfully for decades, was barred from access and intimidated into silence. This exclusion lasted until the intervention of Emeritus Professor Martin Aghaji, a globally respected surgeon and medical teacher.
It was his timely intervention that saved me from imminent collapse.”

Kanu said that under Dr. Cfine’s care, his condition began to improve: “Potassium level rose modestly from 2.1 to 2.9 mmol/L — still below safe levels, but a clear sign of genuine medical progress. My episodes of nosebleeds, fainting, and light-headedness ceased.
Swollen feet reduced, and the headaches subsided to an occasional level.”

Professor Aghaji also confirmed and documented broader health concerns, Kanu said: “In addition, Emeritus Professor Martin Aghaji confirmed and documented broader systemic health problems, including: Liver, pancreas, kidney, bladder, prostate, and white matter disease; Sleep apnea; and most critically, tinnitus the constant internal ‘chirping’ sound in my ears that often makes sleep impossible still persists and making my life unbearable.

“It is no exaggeration to say that without Emeritus Professor Martin Aghaji’s intervention, my health would have deteriorated beyond recovery. Yet instead of supporting him, the DSS has subjected him to the same pattern of intimidation used against Dr. Cfine.”

My Husband wants to have s3x with me eight times everynight – Housewife cries for help

A Harare woman, Melocia Gwata, has successfully obtained a court-issued protection order against her husband, George Kusotera, following allegations of excessive sexual demands and physical abuse.

The case was heard at the Harare Civil Court before Magistrate Judith Taruvinga, where Melocia detailed the severity of her ordeal. She told the court that her husband had coerced her into sexual activity up to eight times a night, resorting to violence whenever she refused.

“He wants to have s3x every day and wakes me up in the middle of the night, even after we’ve been intimate countless times on the same day,” Melocia stated.

She further described how the abuse extended beyond physical coercion, with George allegedly threatening divorce and verbally assaulting her in front of their children.

“He has been assaulting me in front of our children, shouting obscenities and telling them I don’t deserve to be called their mother,” she added, highlighting the emotional toll the behaviour has taken on her and the family.

In response, George acknowledged his actions, apologising to his wife and attributing his conduct to love. “I did not realise I was making her uncomfortable. I apologise and promise not to physically abuse her anymore,” he told the court.

After hearing both sides, Magistrate Taruvinga granted Melocia a protection order, legally preventing her husband from further abuse and ensuring her safety.

Scores of terrorists neutralised after Major attacks on military base

Nigerian troops have successfully neutralised several terrorists and thwarted coordinated attacks in Adamawa and Borno States.

The Joint Task Force, Operation Hadin Kai, announced that the successes followed swift and decisive responses by soldiers to attempts by insurgents to overrun military formations in the North-East.

In a statement issued on Friday, Acting Media Information Officer of the Task Force, Lieutenant Solomon Atokolo, confirmed that the operations resulted in heavy casualties for the terrorists.

He explained that the first attack took place in the early hours of January 16, 2026, when insurgents targeted a patrol base at Sabon Gari in Madagali Local Government Area of Adamawa State.

Atokolo stated that troops under Sector 4 of Operation Hadin Kai quickly engaged the attackers and successfully repelled them. He added that reinforcements from Gulak and the Battalion Quick Reaction Force were promptly mobilised to support the operation, ensuring that the assault was decisively crushed.

“The terrorists were successfully repelled without any casualty to our troops or damage to equipment, forcing them to abandon the attack,” the statement said.

He added that security forces later carried out clearance operations in the surrounding area, scanning for improvised explosive devices and booby traps to guarantee the safety of both civilians and personnel.

In a separate incident on the same day, terrorists staged a large-scale, multi-directional attack on Forward Operating Base (FOB) Azir in Borno State.

The attackers attempted to breach the base’s defensive perimeter but were met with fierce resistance from troops. With support from the Air Component and other Nigerian Army aerial platforms, the soldiers unleashed sustained firepower that compelled the insurgents to retreat.

Although rocket-propelled grenade fire from the terrorists damaged some troop-carrying vehicles and partially affected the base’s CCTV control room, Atokolo said troops maintained full control of the situation and prevented any further breach.

The military spokesperson disclosed that several weapons and ammunition were recovered from the fleeing terrorists.

Items seized included a 60mm mortar tube, mortar bombs, locally fabricated explosives, heavy machine gun rounds, and hundreds of rounds of 7.62mm NATO ammunition.

The Joint Task Force commended the professionalism and resilience of the troops, reaffirming its commitment to sustaining operations aimed at restoring lasting peace and security to the North-East region.
