Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra, has regained his freedom from Kuje prison.
The IPOB leader was arrested in October
2015 following allegations of treasonable felony by the federal government.
He was held in the custody of the State
Security Service till the ruling in January 2016 when the Federal High Court
ordered that the detained Biafra agitator be kept in prison custody.
Since his detention, Mr. Kanu has made
various applications for bail which were refused by the different judges
handling the matter.
He was, however, granted bail on
Wednesday by Justice Binta Nyako
On Friday, Mr. Kanu’s lawyer, Ifeanyi
Ejiofor, told reporters that his client had fulfilled the bail conditions given
to him by Mrs. Nyako.
By Friday evening, Mr. Ejiofor confirmed
that his client had been released. Premium
