I just ran into this same issue and found this answer via Google. The selected answer didn't work for me, so I did some digging and was able to figure this out. Setting the backBarButtonItem property on the navigation item for moreNavigationController will not do anything, there is another hidden view controller that you need to use...

If you take a look at moreNavigationController.viewControllers in the debugger you will see that there is a view controller already in the array called UIMoreListController. You need to set the backBarButtonItem property on the UIMoreListController instance for this to work.

This should work (in a UITabBarController subclass):

if let moreList = moreNavigationController.viewControllers.first(where: { String(describing: type(of: $0)) == "UIMoreListController" }) {
  moreList.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(title: "", style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)
}

In your Source ViewController add below code to viewWillAppear

self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(title: "", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.Plain, target: nil, action: nil)

From this view controller you need to move to destination view controller as follows :

let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let destinationViewController:UIViewController  = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("DetailView") as! UIViewController
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(destinationViewController, animated: true)

Just go with the leftBarButtonItem

self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(title: "", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.Plain, target: nil, action: nil)

OR

self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = nil
