The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has reportedly been moved from the Department of State Services detention facility in Abuja to a correctional center in Sokoto, according to his former lawyer and consultant, Aloy Ejimakor.
Earlier, Tori News reported that activist, Omoyele Sowore revealed that Nnamdi Kanu has been secretly moved to Sokoto prison. Now, Ejimakor is confirming it.
In a tweet on Friday, Ejimakor expressed concern over the move, noting that the relocation places Kanu far from his legal team, family, and supporters.
“While urging #Ndigbo to remain calm, I must question the wisdom of sending #MNK to Sokoto prison.
“When Awolowo was convicted in 1963, he was sent to the East, a neutral zone in his feud with the North. Pres. Tinubu can still halt this drift, as I said in this video,” he said.
Kanu was sentenced to life imprisonment on Thursday by the Federal High Court in Abuja for seven terrorism-related charges, a verdict that IPOB has since rejected as unlawful and politically motivated.
The new development has not been independently confirmed as of Friday evening.
