The summons was also served on the DSS Detention Facility at the DSS National Headquarters, Abuja, and on the Federal Government through its counsel.

Emma Kanu, therefore, appealed to the judiciary to issue the Production Warrant to the Sokoto Correctional Facility to ensure that his brother, Kanu, is allowed to be in Abuja for the matter.

Kanu was handed a life imprisonment sentence following his conviction for alleged terrorism by an Abuja High Court on November 20 and was subsequently transferred to the Sokoto Correctional Facility.

The presiding judge, Justice James Omotosho, handed down the sentence on counts one, two, four, five, and six, opting for life imprisonment instead of the death penalty.

Omotosho also handed Kanu a 20-year jail term on count three, with no option of fine, and a five-year jail term on count seven, with no option of fine.

The seven counts against Kanu relate to his secessionist agitations, acts of terrorism, membership of a proscribed group, killing of security operatives, destruction of public property, concealment, and the importation of an unregistered radio transmitter.
