Justice John Tsoho,\u00a0 of the federal high court, Abuja, has ordered that Nnamdi Kanu be moved from the custody of the DSS\u00a0 Kuje prison pending his trial for treason.<\/p>\n

The order was consequent upon the argument of his counsel, Chuks Muoma,\u00a0 who said that his client had been kept incommunicado in the custody of the DSS for three months.<\/p>\n

He therefore asked the court to send the accused person to prison so that his family could have access to him.<\/p>\n

Counsel to DSS Mohammed Diri, however, prayed the court to keep Kanu in the custody of the DSS for security reasons.<\/p>\n

But the judge ruled that the defendant be kept in the custody of the Nigeria Prison Service, Kuje. Kanu arrived at the court a few minutes past 9am looking unkempt<\/p>\n

. On December 23, 2015, he had refused to take his plea before Ahmed Mohammed, justice of the federal high court, Abuja, citing lack of confidence in the court.<\/p>\n

This was after Adeniyi Ademola, another justice of the federal high court, Abuja, ordered the DSS to release him unconditionally, and after a chief magistrate court discharged and acquitted of charges of criminal intimidation and ownership of unlawful society.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
