Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Thursday lost his bid to be moved to the Kuje Correctional Centre.<\/p>\n

Kanu\u2019s request to be moved from the Kuje Correctional Centre from the Department of State Service, DSS, facility was rejected by Justice Binta Nyako of the Abuja Federal High Court.<\/p>\n

His counsel, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, prayed the court to transfer the pro-Biafra agitator from the DSS custody to Kuje prison.<\/p>\n

But the trial judge, Justice Nyako, rejected Ejiofor\u2019s application.<\/p>\n

This is the second time Kanu\u2019s request has been turned down by the court.<\/p>\n

In July, the IPOB leader had asked to be moved to the prison, alleging that he had been \u201csubjected to mental and psychological torture\u201d by the Department of State Services (DSS), a request which was turned down.<\/p>\n

Justice Nyako consequently adjourned the matter till November 10 to hear the competency of the charges preferred against him by the Federal Government.<\/p>\n

However, Nyako ordered that three people of Kanu\u2019s choice should be allowed to visit him every Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
