The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Thursday declined the request for the transfer of leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, from the Department of States Services facility to the Nigerian Correctional Centre.

Nnamdi Kanu had pleaded not guilty to a seven-count amended terrorism charges filed against him by the federal government at the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja.

After taking his plea, his lawyers led by Ifeanyi Ejiofor told Justice Binta Nyako that he had an application seeking his transfer from the facility of the Department of States Services to the Nigeria Correctional Centre, Kuje.

Justice Nyako refused to grant the application.

Subsequently, Justice Binta Nyako adjourned to November 10 to hear the objection.

Ejiofor had said that his client needed to leave the DSS custody so that they could have unrestricted access to him.

After the court rose, the DSS whisked him away from a side entrance of the court.
