Mr Ejimakor, who made the appeal on a post via his verified Twitter handle on Wednesday, said that Mr Kanu, the leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), needs urgent medical care, particularly for his ear.
Dear President Tinubu: Few days ago, I passionately urged you to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. You haven’t. Today, I respectfully urge you to direct the DSS to immediately permit #MNK the freewill to seek independent medical care, particularly for the ear surgery he needs as of now.

In an earlier tweet, Ejimakor said he had gone “through so much trouble to advance the cause of arranging proper medical care” for the IPOB leader, but that the SSS did not allow that to happen.
After going through so much trouble to advance the cause of arranging proper medical care for Onyendu #MNK, the DSS made sure it didn’t happen. This will not stand. Onyendu must get the proper medical care that he needs from physicians of his own choice. pic.twitter.com/Y5zyvEIXwm

He attached a copy of a letter to the tweet. The letter was signed by the lawyer.
The letter, dated 6 June and addressed to the director-general of the SSS, was in response to a medical report of Mr Kanu believed to have been made by the SSS medical unit.
“This letter serves as a formal introduction as well as an accreditation for the two doctors who have been selected by the Kanu family to examine Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s medical records/report generated by the SSS medical unit,” Mr Ejimakor wrote in the letter.
