Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has been transferred to a maximum-security correctional facility in Sokoto State following his sentencing to life imprisonment on Thursday by a Federal High Court in Abuja.
GISTSMATE MEDIA reported that Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court on Thursday sentenced Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), to life imprisonment, concluding a high-profile trial that has lasted several years.
Kanu, who was arrested in Kenya under contentious circumstances four years ago and extradited to Nigeria, faced seven counts related to terrorism.
The judgment was delivered in his absence after he refused to participate in the proceedings, insisting that the court had no authority over him regarding the terrorism charges.
Justice James Omotosho delivered the judgment convicting Kanu on multiple terrorism-related charges.
After his conviction, he was immediately remanded in the custody of the Nigerian Correctional Service, ending his years-long detention at the Department of State Services (DSS) facility in Abuja.
His Lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor confirmed the development on Social Media.
He wrote; “MAZI NNAMDI KANU has just been moved from DSS Abuja to the correctional facility (prison) in Sokoto; so far away from his lawyers, family, loved ones and wellwishers.”
