The Federal Government has transferred the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, from the Department of State Services (DSS), facility in Abuja to a correctional centre in Sokoto State.
Kanu’s lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, disclosed the development on Friday in a post on X, saying his client had been moved “so far away from his lawyers, family, loved ones and well-wishers.”
The transfer comes less than 24 hours after the Federal High Court in Abuja convicted and sentenced Kanu to life imprisonment on terrorism charges.
Kanu’s legal team has condemned the ruling, calling it a miscarriage of justice.
Barrister Okpara urged supporters to remain calm and avoid violence, expressing confidence that the judgment would be overturned on appeal.
