The Abuja Federal High Court refused to issue a warrant that will authorize the management of Sokoto Prison to transport Indigenous People of Biafra leader, Nnamdi Kanu, to Abuja for a scheduled settlement of records for his appeal, the IPOB leader’s brother, Prince Emmanuel, alleged on Thursday.
Settlement of records at the registry of the Federal High
Court is part of the procedure for filing appeals at the Court of Appeal.
Kanu’s brother, Prince Emmanuel, who spoke to DAILY POST on
Thursday morning, provided copies of summons issued by the registrar of the
Abuja Federal High Court, directing the IPOB leader to appear on November 28,
2025, for the appeal records settlement.
A message forwarded to DAILY POST by Prince Emmanuel read,
“This is a summons to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to appear on November 28 at the Federal
High Court in Abuja for the settlement of records regarding the appeal he filed
prior to the November 20 judgment.
“A production warrant is required for the Sokoto Prison to
transport him to Abuja, but the Court declined to issue it.”
The summons, dated November 11, 2025, and signed by Ojonugwa
Thomas, Principal Registrar 1, read, “Summons to parties by Registrar to settle
records (In compliance with Order 8 Rule 2 of the Court of Appeal Rules, 2021).
“Take notice that all parties concerned are required to
appear before me at the Appeal Section of the Federal High Court Headquarters,
Plot 1048 (710), Cadastral Zone A100, Off Shehu Shagari Way, Central Business
District, Abuja, on 28th day of November, 2025, at the hour of 11:00 am, to
proceed with settlement of record of appeal therein.”
The appeal in the charge numbered FHC/ABJ/CR/383/2025, is
between Nnamdi Kanu, appellant, and Federal Republic of Nigeria, respondent.
Recall that Kanu was on November 20, 2025,
sentenced to life imprisonment after his conviction on terrorism charges by an
Abuja Federal High Court presided by Justice James Omotosho.
He is currently serving the sentence at the Sokoto Prison.
