Nnamdi Kanu Transferred to Sokoto Prison After Life Sentence
The Nigerian government has transferred Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), to Sokoto prison following his conviction on multiple terrorism-related charges by a Federal High Court in Abuja. Kanu's former counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, confirmed the transfer, expressing concerns over hindered access to Kanu by his legal team and family.
The Department of State Services (DSS) reportedly informed Kanu's legal team, led by Nnaemeka Ejiofor, about the transfer for security reasons. No official statement has been issued by the DSS or Ministry of Interior regarding the relocation.
