Key past developments: In July 2023, a Federal High Court in Abuja ordered the Department of State Services (DSS) to grant Kanu access to his medical records and doctors of his choice. The court held that DSS’s objections lacked merit, but stipulated that any independent medical examination be supervised by D...

Court Orders NMA to Verify Kanu’s Health in Eight Days? A Critical Look A claim circulating in some corners of social media and alternative news outlets asserts that a court has directed the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) to verify the health status of Nnamdi Kanu within eight days. However, after a review of current media reports, there is no credible evidence of such an order. What the Reports Actually Say In September 2025, Kanu’s legal team filed a motion asking the Federal High Court in Abuja to transfer him from DSS custody to the Abuja National Hospital for medical attention. ( The Guardian Nigeria ) Justice Musa Liman , who was serving as a vacation judge, initially accepted the motion ex parte and scheduled a hearing, ordering that DSS be served. ( The Gu...

Nigeria: Is the ruling party APC at war? All seem to be well with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) until recently when the #OshiomholeMustGo crusade took centre stage in the affairs and the narrative of discussion of the Party itself. Since then it has been “new week, new trouble” for the APC. The troubles within the APC seem to be beyond President Buhari himself who is even having family problems to attend to, thus far as he keeps referring Party members to the Constitution of the Party, in resolving its conflicts. The President even said to the Party leaders during a recent meeting that if they want to remove Oshiomhole from Office as National Chairman, they can go ahead and do so, by following due process as enshrined in the Party constitution. The events in recent times point clearly to show that the ranks within the APC are at daggers-drawn with themselves. The recent non-renewal of Tunde Fowler’s tenure as Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) boss on ground...
