Justice Binta Nyako, in a judgment, held that the SSS objections to Mr Kanu’s request were unmeritorious.
Ms Nyako held that Mr Kanu was constitutionally entitled to have access to both the records he requested and medical doctors of his choice.
The judge, however, directed that the independent medical examination of Mr Kanu by his personal physicians should be supervised by the SSS, with the entire process recorded and sealed for security purposes.
Mr Kanu, through his team of lawyers led by Mike Ozekhome, SAN, had filed the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/ 2341/2022 against the SSS and its director general as 1st and 2nd respondents.
In the suit, the IPOB leader prayed the court for an order granting him leave to, “apply for judicial review in the form of an order of mandamus, compelling the respondents to allow the applicant unhindered access to his medical doctors to enable them conduct an independent examination of his present deteriorating health condition.
“An order of this Honourable Court granting leave to the applicant to apply for judicial review in the form of an order of mandamus, compelling the respondents to avail the applicant with all his medical records, from the 29th day of June 2021, till date.”
Mr Kanu listed some of the records he would require from the DSS, to include; his admission records, medical and clinical notes, nursing notes, observation charts and documentation during treatment or stay-in-hospital, laboratory test results, pharmaceutical records, radiological scans, images and reports, blood transfusion records, physiotherapy and rehabilitative treatment records, clinical findings, as well as diagnosis and treatment prescribed records.
But in a preliminary objection filed by the SSS, the security outfit urged the court to dismiss the suit for want of jurisdiction.
It argued that there was a subsisting judgement of a sister court delivered by Justice Taiwo Taiwo (rtd.) on June 3, 2022, in suit number: FHC/ABJ/CS/1585/2021 between Mr Kanu and DG of SSS and two others wherein the court dealt substantially with the issue of allowing the IPOB leader access to his personal physician.
It said the instant suit was similar to the earlier one and that Mr Kanu had filed an appeal against the judgement.
