Full Transcript Of Nnamdi Kanu’s Court Session Today, Omotosho On MNK'S Transfer From Sokoto Prison.

Nnamdi Kanu Loses Transfer Bid — Court Raises Major Legal Concerns! Transcript Of Today’s Session.

The Federal High Court in Abuja has declined Nnamdi Kanu’s application requesting a transfer from the Sokoto Correctional Centre to a custodial facility closer to the court’s jurisdiction. Justice James Omotosho ruled that such a request cannot be considered through an ex parte motion and emphasized that the Federal Government and the Nigerian Correctional Service must first be served to ensure fairness, transparency, and due process.

Kanu, represented by counsel from the Legal Aid Council, argued that relocation to a facility in Suleja or Keffi would enable proper consultation, access to legal resources, and effective preparation for his ongoing appeal. The court, however, questioned why a significant application of this nature was filed without notifying the respondents and subsequently struck out the primary relief.

During proceedings, the court also noted procedural issues with Kanu’s notice of appeal, which had been submitted before the judgment he now seeks to challenge. With no valid appeal before the court at this stage, the matter has been adjourned to January 27, 2026, for a comprehensive hearing once all parties have been duly served.

This update examines the ruling, the legal implications, and the next steps in one of Nigeria’s most closely monitored judicial matters.
