The Federal Government has transferred the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, to a correctional centre in Sokoto State following his life sentence.
The IPOB leader’s lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, disclosed this on Friday, November 21, 2025.
“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,” Ejimakor wrote on X.
