BREAKING!!! IPOB Leader, Nnamdi Kanu Rejects Bail

Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra
(IPOB), has rejected the bail
granted him by Binta Nyako,
justice of the federal high court,
Abuja.
Nyako had granted Kanu bail on
stringent terms on Tuesday. One
of the conditions is that he must
present a Jewish leader as
surety.
But a family source told
TheCable that the IPOB leader
had rejected the order for his
conditional release.
¤
“Nnamdi Kanu has said he will
not accept the bail until other
persons he was charged
alongside are granted bail as
well,” the source said.
•
“You know how he is. That is his
decision.”
However, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, Kanu’s
lawyer, said his client had not
rejected the bail.
TheCable understands that
Israel and Sally Kanu, the IPOB
leader’s parents, are not
satisfied with the conditions
given for the release of their
son, hence they have called for
his unconditional release.
Kanu alongside other three
accused persons – Chidiebere
Onwudiwe, Benjamin
Madubugwu and David
Nwawuisi – are facing trial for
alleged treasonable felony.
Nyako had quashed six of the
11-count charges filed against
them. But she sustained the rest
which bordered on treason.
Kanu has been in Kuje prisons,
Abuja since 2015.
There were wild celebrations in
the south-east at the news of
Kanu securing bail. But the
celebrations were punctured
when the conditions of his
release became clear.
Ayo Fayose, Ekiti state governor,
and Femi Fani-Kayode were
among those who came to show
solidarity with the IPOB leader
at the court on Tuesday.
