Security around the Sokoto Correctional Centre has reportedly remained unusually tight weeks after the transfer of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu. Punch states that Kanu was sentenced to life imprisonment on November 20, 2025, after being found guilty on terrorism-related counts, and that the court raised concerns about his safety at Kuje, given past jailbreak incidents. The report describes a visible security buildup including armoured presence and heavily armed personnel, with journalists denied access without clearance from national headquarters. The paper also notes that only family, lawyers, and select high-profile visitors are reportedly permitted limited access. Source: Punch, December 7, 2025.
