Court Rejects Nnamdi Kanu's Transfer Request from Sokoto Prison

The Federal High Court in Abuja has denied Nnamdi Kanu's request to be moved from Sokoto Prison to a different facility. Kanu's legal team argued for the transfer to ensure his proper participation in the legal process.

However, the court ruled that the transfer was unnecessary at this stage. The judge emphasized the importance of a fair hearing and instructed Kanu's team to convert their motion to a notice for the government to respond.

The case has been adjourned to January 27, 2026, for further proceedings.
