Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has claimed that the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has been secretly transferred to a prison facility in Sokoto State. According to Sowore, the transfer was done quietly and without any formal public announcement, raising concerns among supporters about Kanu’s safety and the transparency of the legal process surrounding his case.

Sowore alleged that the relocation happened shortly after the court delivered its recent judgement, which has continued to generate national debate. He said the secrecy surrounding the movement suggests that authorities may be attempting to isolate Kanu or prevent public reactions from his supporters. This claim has further intensified discussions about human rights and the handling of high-profile detainees in the country.

Supporters of the IPOB leader have expressed deep worry, insisting that the government must be open about his whereabouts and treatment. Many argue that such hidden transfers only increase tension and create suspicion at a time when calls for fairness and justice are louder than ever. They are demanding clear information and assurance that Kanu is safe and receiving proper legal access.

The Nigerian government has yet to officially respond to Sowore’s claims. However, the story has spread quickly across social media, prompting renewed calls for transparency in handling sensitive national security cases. Nigerians await clarification as pressure mounts on authorities to address the allegations openly.
