The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has reportedly been moved from the Department of State Services (DSS) detention facility in Abuja to a correctional centre in Sokoto, according to his former lawyer and consultant, Aloy Ejimakor.
Ejimakor revealed the development in a post on Friday, expressing deep concern over the transfer. He noted that relocating Kanu to Sokoto places him far away from his legal team, family, and supporters, making access more difficult.
He wrote, “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, which was a neutral zone in his dispute with the North. President Tinubu can still intervene and halt this situation.”

As of Friday evening, the development had not been independently verified.
