Court Declares DSS Custody Adequate for Nnamdi Kanu’s Health, Sets Next Hearing for October 23

In a significant development, a Nigerian court has ruled that the Department of State Services (DSS) facility where IPOB leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is being held is adequate to meet his medical needs. The ruling came during proceedings where Kanu’s legal team raised concerns about his health and requested better medical arrangements.

The court has adjourned the matter to October 23, 2025, for further hearing. Legal representatives and human rights advocates continue to monitor the situation closely, citing ongoing debates over detainees’ rights and health standards in custody.
