Nnamdi Kanu may return to jail soon as FG directs court to revoke his bail
There are strong indications that leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, may soon return to jail as the Federal Government has directed the court to revoke the bail granted him.
Disclosing this in a statement released by the office of the Attorney General of Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, on Friday, the Federal Government directed the court to order the arrest and detention of Kanu until the determination of the charge against him.
The statement was signed by special assistant to Mr. Malami, Salihu Isah. It said the order became necessary following Kanu’s alleged disobedience of court orders, among other issues.

When one arm of government starts “ordering” another arm of equal constitutional powers, then know ye that a tyrant is truly in power!

He has stepped beyond his boundary and should be caged back again and this time around, for life.

Kanu was stupid, instead of him to have make use of the bail given to him to renounce Biafra and probably they would have pardoned him but he misused the freedom.

He was misled and he misled people like me. I never knew he is just trying to be selfish leader to make name

Kanu is a threat to Nigeria’s peace and unity, we cannot afford to have him living among right thinking Nigerians. He should be detained until the court finalize his case.

You’re silly! Kanu is a law abiding citizen, he hasn’t broken any rule in the constitution. If they return him to Prison, Nigeria will see God’s wrath.

There can only be peace and no Biafra agitation if Kanu went back to jail. That’s the only solution.

KANU has displayed total disregard to our constitution and Nigeria at large. He has shown that indeed, he is culpable of treason. The Igbos must always demonstrate the attitude of saying “NO” to despicable actions from shenanigans like KANU who bent on thwarting our collective existence. It’s high the govt sent him to jail until otherwise.
