Lawyer claims Nnamdi Kanu moved from DSS custody to Sokoto prison

 

The Federal Government has transferred the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, to a correctional facility in Sokoto State, according to his former lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor.

However, CrimeFacts is yet to independently verify this at the moment.

Kanu was moved from the Department of State Services (DSS) detention facility in Abuja less than 24 hours after he was handed a life sentence by Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court.

The judge had convicted him on multiple counts of terrorism after several years of trial.

Ejimakor, in a post shared on X on Friday, confirmed the development, stating that the relocation would further distance Kanu from his legal team and family members.
