Court Convicts kanu.webp

The Digest:

Nnamdi Kanu has been moved from DSS custody in Abuja to a correctional facility in Sokoto, far from his legal team and family. The transfer, confirmed by his lawyer Aloy Ejimakor, follows the IPOB leader’s sentencing to life imprisonment on terrorism charges by Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja.

Key Points:
  • Nnamdi Kanu has been transferred from DSS custody to Sokoto prison.
  • His lawyer stated the location is far from his legal team and family.
  • Justice Omotosho described Kanu as an “international terrorist.”
  • The judge ruled he must be held in protective custody outside Kuje.
  • Kanu is barred from using electronic devices without NSA supervision.
  • Equipment retrieved from him is to be forfeited to the federal government.
  • He received life imprisonment on four counts and additional years on others.
The distant relocation underscores not just a legal conclusion, but a profound isolation, moving a controversial figure far from familiar ground into a landscape of silence and separation.
