Court denies IPOB Leader Nmamdi Kanu bail

Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court Abuja has denied leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, bail. While delivering judgment on his application today, Justice Nyako said offences committed by Kanu and his supporters are not entirely bailable. She said the charge of treasonable felony, which Kanu and his supporters have been charged with attracts a life sentence and that their case was sensitive to National security.

Kanu was arrested on October 14th 2015 and has been in the custody of the Federal government since then.
