Court Fixes Dec 8 To Hear Motion Seeking Nnamdi Kanu’s Movement From Sokoto Prison
The Federal High Court in Abuja adjourned Nnamdi Kanu's motion for transfer from Sokoto Correctional Centre to December 8. Justice Omotosho refused to hear the motion, personally signed by Kanu, due to lack of legal representation. Kanu seeks transfer to a facility closer to Abuja, like Suleja or Keffi, to effectively exercise his right of appeal against his conviction. His brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, was denied representation as he is not a lawyer. The judge advised Kanu to hire a lawyer or seek help from the Legal Aid Council. Justice Omotosho clarified Kanu's physical presence isn't mandatory for compiling appeal records, countering claims by one of Kanu's lawyers.
