The Federal High Court in Abuja has once again rejected the transfer of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained Biafra agitator, from the Department of State Services (DSS) to Kuje prison in Abuja.
The detained IPOB self-appointed leader was still in the safest place—the DSS custody, according to Justice Binta Nyako, who denied the second application on Tuesday.
The judge ruled that as the court had previously rejected Kanu’s request to be released from DSS custody, his only remaining choice was to appeal the decision to the Court of Appeal.
“Go to the Court of Appeal and ask that my earlier order rejecting to remove Kanu from DSS custody to Kuje prison be set aside. That is the only option opened up to you now.
“I have delivered 21 rulings in this matter, most of them in favour of the defendant. If my orders are not obeyed, you know what to do. Have you ever come before this court and complained about orders not being obeyed?” The Judge held.
As of the time of this report, Kanu’s legal team is adamant on delaying any trial until they have complete access to their client.
