ABUJA—The
Federal High Court in Abuja has granted bail to the detained leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, who is facing charges bordering
on treasonable felony.
His
released on bail was based on health grounds. The court held that Kanu must
produce three sureties, including a “highly respected and recognised jewish
leader”. According to the court, aside a jewish leader, Kanu must also produce
a “highly placed person of Igbo extraction such as a Senator”, as well as “a
highly respected person who is resident and owns landed property in Abuja”.
Each of the sureties are to deposit N100million each. As part of his conditions
for bail, Kanu, was expressly barred from attending any rally or granting any
form of interview.
Kanu however, is still in Kuje Prison
pending perfection of his bail conditions. It was reported that Ekiti State
Governor, Ayodele Fayose was among dignitaries that were in court for the
ruling. More details soon.
