 A federal high court, a border has declined a request of the leader of the indigenous people of Biafra, Aipop, Namdi Kanu to be moved to Kuji Correctional Service Center. Justice Bintanyako in a ruling turned down the application by Namdi's lawyer, Yifanyi Jofo. Earlier when the matter was court, the leader of the Aipop was not brought to the court by the Department of State Services, DSS, a counsel to the Attorney General of the Federation, M. B. Abubaka informed the court that though he was ready to proceed, the defendant was not in court. Yifanyi Jofo, however, expressed worry over the absence of Kanu in court. The lawyer alleged that his client was subjected to dehumanizing conditions and that he had no access to his lawyers while he was in the custody of the DSS. Yifanyi Jofo, who said he had not seen his client for over 10 days, told the court that the information rich in him or that Kanu had been taken away to an unknown destination. He said he had a motion on notice filed before the court, seeking for an order directing the transfer of the applicant from the custody of the DSS to the Nigerian Correctional Service Center in Kuji, where he was originally detained before he was granted bail pendant the determination of the charge.
