Story: The family of jailed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader Nnamdi Kanu has voiced concern after a Federal High Court in Abuja declined to issue a production warrant needed to transfer him from Sokoto Prison to the capital. The warrant was intended to facilitate his appearance in person on November 28 as part of the process to settle his appeal following his life-sentence conviction on terrorism charges. Lawyers and family members warn that refusing the warrant could deny Kanu his right to a fair hearing and stall the appeal proceedings.
