The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has been transferred from the Department of State Services detention facility in Abuja to a correctional facility in Sokoto.

In a tweet on Friday, Alloy Ejimakor, a former lawyer to IPOB Leader, expressed concern over the move, noting that the relocation places Kanu far from his legal team, family, and supporters. While urging #Ndigbo to remain calm, Ejimakor questioned the wisdom of sending #MNK to Sokoto prison.

According to him, When Awolowo was convicted in 1963, he was sent to the East, a neutral zone in his feud with the North noting that, President Tinubu can still halt this drift. Kanu was sentenced to life imprisonment on Thursday by the Federal High Court in Abuja for seven terrorism-related charges, a verdict that IPOB has since rejected as unlawful and politically motivated.
