A federal high court in Abuja has granted bail to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of
the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). Justice Binta Nyako granted
Kanu bail on “health grounds”.
Kanu, alongside
other three pro-Biafra agitators, has been facing trial for
treason. The other Biafran agitators are Chidiebere Onwudiwe, Benjamin
Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi.
Nyako had earlier quashed six of the charges against them, but she sustained that of treason.
Ayo
Fayose, governor of Ekiti state, had earlier joined Kanu at the
court. Journalists were barred from witnessing the proceedings by the
operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS).
Femi Fani-Kayode was also barred from entering the court room where the case was held.
