The Federal Government has transferred the detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, to a correctional facility in Sokoto State, his former lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, has disclosed.
Kanu was relocated from the Department of State Services (DSS) detention centre in Abuja less than 24 hours after Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court handed him a life sentence on multiple terrorism charges.
