 There was tension in Umuahia, Abia State, on Tuesday, as Nnamdi Kano's lawyer, Aloy Ajimako, heads to court over Kano's health. The entire access road to the court venue was blocked by truckloads of the military, police and other security agencies, thus creating fear among great users in Umuahia. In an application, Nnamdi Kano v. the federal government of Nigeria and seven others, Ajimako had brought an ex-party order asking the court to, among other things, make an interim order of release of Kano. This was so he could attend to his health in any medical facility of his choice in Nigeria, pending the hearing of the motion. Ajimako had also asked for the substitution service of the motion of notice of third and fourth respondents. However, the higher court had refused the application and asked the lawyer to put the respondents unnoticed.
