Anayo Adibe, the lawyer of Abdulrasheed Maina, former chairman of Pension Reform Task Team (PRTT), has revealed that his client suffered a partial stroke at the Kuje correctional center where he is being detained.
Adibe, who spoke in an interview with We FM, said his client is in a “very bad shape” and needs adequate medical attention.
“I visited him at the prison about a week ago and from the visit, he was not looking fine at all,” Adibe said.
“I was told he had suffered a mild stroke, his blood pressure has been very high and his sugar level has risen astronomically. He is in a very bad shape.
“The resident doctor has written several letters to the authorities asking that he be taken to a better and well equipped medical facility. Those letters have not been responded to.
“As his lawyers, we have taken a step further. We have written the comptroller-general, informing him of the dire situation our client finds himself presently and that except he is afforded quick medical attention, the story might change very soon because the truth is that we fear for his life,” he added.
