If he's not special, you wouldn't have watched it in TV

This is a concerning development that raises several procedural and humanitarian questions. While the state has the authority to manage the detention of individuals in its custody, the sudden and long distance transfer of a high profile detainee like Nnamdi Kanu, especially without apparent prior notification to his legal team, is a move that understandably causes alarm.

From a legal perspective, such a transfer could be seen as an obstruction of his right to adequate legal defense. Consistently consulting with lawyers is a fundamental right for any detainee, and relocating him hundreds of kilometers away from his established legal team in Abuja significantly impedes this right.

Furthermore, the family's concerns for his safety are valid. Sokoto is far from his region of influence and support, which could be perceived as an attempt to isolate him.

So there's a law that mandates a convict to be incarceration close to his loved ones and legal team.🙄🙄

He is still within the jurisdiction of the court, he was transferred there for his safety, if they want to see him they should visit him, or is Sokoto not in Nigeria?

Because of the large population of igbos in Abuja he was walking around like he is a demi god, let him do same in Sokoto.

Salewa97:
Kanu's family should stop being dramatic. They should be able to tell us the crimes Kanu committed that led to his incarceration.

SE did not vote for Tinubu na and nepotism did not start with Tinubu. In as much as I disagree with some of the president's appointments, he has a duty to appoint individuals he feels he can work with to move the country forward. I have condemned MNK since day one and I have no reason to pretend in the face of evil. MNK is never fighting for anyone except his own pockets and we cannot allow the SE be turned to another war zone.

I've seen a lot of trash on TV.

DomPerignon:
He is a convict and his rights are limited with the Nigerian Correctional Service having full control on where to place him in their network of prisons.
Also, Omotosho specifically ruled that he be excluded from serving his sentence in Kuje and that he should be placed in protective custody (isolation) and barred from accessing Social media without monitoring.

Judges have the powers to determine which facility a convict will serve their sentence and the conditions attached e.g. hard labour, counselling , skill acquisition , isolation, etc.

This yoruba government led by Tinubu de use their future play... them go soon know why fulani and Buhari and fulani judges no gree convict am....make something do am first ...na that time them go know how dangerous the igbos are

esnbrutality:
Whoever is fixated on so called trash is actually worse than a skunks butt.

DomPerignon:
Why do you guys like AI slop?

lilsmart:
You are correct that there is no specific law mandating a convict be held close to loved ones. However, the principle of access to a legal team is a cornerstone of a fair judicial process. While Sokoto is within Nigeria, the practical reality is that suddenly moving a detainee hundreds of kilometers away from their established legal counsel, without notice, can be seen as obstructing that access.

esnbrutality:
Lovers of IGBOs that come from regions outside Igbo land. Minister and moderator of Igbo affairs,please face your warrant.

IGBOs don't budge, most especially when tyrants and propagandist' want to subjugate them.

You failed woefully...and the Sit at home is still happening. Why not checkup on Ribadu? Make him no pee for boxers oooo!!

TemporaryHansel:
If anything happens to the guy in prison, Nigeria will be plunged into a serious crisis.

stuffs2002:
Chest beating as usual.
This was how you people threatened fire and brimstone if Kanu was arrested yet Kanu was arrested like a chicken

unitysheart:
Who are his legal team at this time? Didn't he expel all of them?

It's evident we're are both not children, so using the word suddenly is unacceptable.

Up until yesterday he wasn't a convicted felon, he hasn't been incarceration all this time, so the move is warranted, he was in Dss custody for the duration of the trial, now the trial is over, and he is to be incarcerated.

During the delivery of judgement, the trial judge stated the reason for the move, his lawyers didn't object, if he hasn't fired them maybe they would have but they were powerless in the situation.

Besides it's an appeal he doesn't need to appear and if he does, the FG will definitely make provision for his appearance.

A man who barely escaped death penalty by the judge's decision to temper justice with mercy? You think a convicted terrorist deserves prefrential treatment because his people decides to play their legendary emotional politics with his crimes and call him political detainee? He's a deadly criminal and should be kept in a maximum correction center. The Government have standard procedures on how to take care of inmates health. He will use prison doctors and will not be allowed to have access to any personal physician who could poison him and blame the Government. He's no longer an accused or suspect person. He's a convicted terrorist serving a life jail term until when an higher court says otherwise. This is not DSS detention we are talking about but a federal correctional center. The federal Government have the right to protect him and keep him in one of its correctional centers in as much as the facility belongs to Nigeria wether in Gongola state or Bendel.. Maybe one of his lawyers he slapped inside a court of law should tell the appeal judge that he deserves to be kept at Transcorp Hilton as a role model for Nigerian youths. His actions in the court alone erode any doubt that the boy is dumb and arrogant.
