“He instructed me to make it public that he has not been given his drugs for the past nine days and he has not eaten today because DSS says that they don’t have money to buy his food,” Ejimakor tweeted.
Ejimakor further suggested that Kanu’s legal team has decided to give the DSS money to purchase food for Kanu.
“We have decided to take money to them as a deposit for his food. They won’t allow food brought by others, including family,” he wrote in another tweet.
Meanwhile, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Mike Ozekhome, and the family of the IPOB leader will today, Friday, December 16, 2022, release a cheque of N1m for his drugs and feeding.
Confirming this development, Kanu’s younger brother, Prince Emma Kanu said, “This is a confirmed story.

Yesterday (Thursday), when we visited him, he has not had any food.
“I asked them (DSS) why, they said that there is no money for his regular meal and that they don’t have any money.
“So, we have also explained everything to the SAN, Mike Ozekhome.
“By today, SAN will prepare a cheque of N1m to be handed over to the DSS for his feeding.
“I will also make sure I raise money and take the DSS along with me to make sure he has enough food to eat since the federal government can’t take care of him.”
