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.
