JUST IN: NNAMDI KANU, REPORTEDLY RELOCATED FROM DSS CUSTODY TO SOKOTO CORRECTIONAL CENTRE. | #RWGBLOG

 
Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has been transferred from the Department of State Services (DSS) custody in Abuja to a correctional facility in Sokoto, according to his lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor. This move comes after Kanu was sentenced to life imprisonment by Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja for terrorism-related charges.

Ejimakor expressed concern over the relocation, stating it would distance Kanu from his lawyers, family, and loved ones. The decision to move Kanu to Sokoto has been questioned, with some drawing parallels to the treatment of former Nigerian leader Obafemi Awolowo, who was sent to the East after his conviction in 1963.

Kanu's family and legal team have raised alarms over the move, citing concerns for his safety and well-being. The Nigerian government has not officially commented on the transfer.
