Bishop Kukah Visits Nnamdi Kanu in Sokoto Custodial Centre
By: Fabian Apechihin
The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Hassan Kukah, has paid a visit to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, at the Sokoto correctional centre.
The visit was disclosed on Thursday by Kanu’s special counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, who described the gesture as a show of compassion and solidarity.
“Thank you so much, Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah, for taking the time to visit Mazi Nnamdi Kanu today. As the distinguished Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, your visitation symbolises your solidarity and that of the Sokoto Diocese with #MNK in this time of distress,” Ejimakor wrote on X.
Kanu was convicted on November 20, 2025, by the Federal High Court in Abuja on terrorism-related charges and sentenced to life imprisonment.
Following the conviction, he was transferred to the Sokoto custodial centre on November 21, in line with a court order that ruled out his detention at Kuje prison.
Since his relocation, Kanu’s legal team has filed motions seeking his transfer back to Abuja.
The IPOB leader faced seven counts bordering on terrorism, including incitement and unlawful broadcasts. Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court found him guilty on all charges and handed down the life sentence.
