Biafra: FG may ask court to revoke Nnamdi Kanu’s bail

The Federal Government may ask the Federal High Court in Abuja to revoke the bail granted to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, on grounds of alleged breach of the conditions of the bail granted him in April, Saturday PUNCH has learnt.

Top sources in the Federal Ministry of Justice, the body prosecuting
the IPOB leader, told our correspondent on the condition of anonymity
because they had no authority to speak to journalists on the matter,
that alleged breaches of the bail conditions by Kanu were being noted.

They said the prosecuting authorities were taking records of the
alleged breaches, reviewing them and would take “the necessary step
at the appropriate time.”

Part of the major conditions of the bail which Justice Binta Nyako had granted Kanu on April 25, 2017, included prohibition from granting press interview.

The judge also barred Kanu from participating in any rally and warned that he should never be found in any crowd of more than 10 persons.

One of the sources in the Federal Ministry of Justice in Abuja, said although without going into details, “Kanu had been found to have flouted some of the conditions (he was given).”
