Federal High Court Orders Nnamdi Kanu To Be Taken To Kuje Prison

The Federal high court, Abuja, has ordered that Nnamdi Kanu be remanded in Kuje prison pending his trial for treason instead of DSS cutody.

Justice John Tsoho, the judge, gave the order after hearing to Mohammed Diri, counsel to the Department of State Services (DSS), and Chuks Muoma (SAN), counsel to Kanu. Muoma had argued that the accused person be remanded in prison custody away from the cell of the DSS.

He said that his client had been kept incommunicado in the custody of the DSS for three months.

But the judge ruled that the defendant be kept in the custody of the Nigeria Prison Service, Kuje.
