Emeritus Professor Martin Aghaji, a medical expert who produced an independent assessment of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader Nnamdi Kanu’s health, is reportedly arrested in Enugu State. Human rights lawyer Barrister Maxwell Okpara raised the alarm in a statement on Saturday, saying Aghaji was taken from his residence in Independence Layout, Enugu, on Friday, July 3, 2026. Okpara links the reported arrest to Aghaji’s medical reports, which he says contradict the official health account presented by the Department of State Services (DSS). No official reason for the arrest is provided in the accounts cited by both outlets. Okpara calls on professional and legal bodies, including the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) and Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), as well as civil society organizations, to intervene and ensure due process. The reports emphasize that the medical expert’s assessments are said to challenge the DSS version of Kanu’s condition and that Aghaji should not be intimidated for speaking on the matter, according to Okpara.
