Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of
Biafra (IPOB) and director of Radio Biafra, bail was
denied bail by Justice John Tsoho of the Federal
High Court on Friday.
Kanu alongside Benjamin Madubugwu and David
Nwawuisi is facing a six-count charge of
treasonable felony.
The judge ruled that Kanu was a threat to national
security, and as a result would not be granted bail.
He held that if released Kanu might commit the
same offence again, and that there was a
probability that he might jump bail because he
possessed dual citizenship.
He therefore ruled that Kanu be remanded in prison
custody, and ordered an accelerated hearing of the
case. Tsoho had fixed Friday for ruling on Kanu’s
bail application which was argued on Monday.
