Breaking ipob court throws kanus bail application
It appears that the High Court in Abuja has rejected the bail application of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
According to reports, the court ruled that Kanu's continued detention is necessary to prevent him from fleeing the country or interfering with the investigation into the allegations against him.
Kanus' lawyers had argued that he was being held in detention for too long without trial and that his health was deteriorating. They also claimed that he was being subjected to inhumane treatment and that his rights were being violated.
However, the court rejected these claims and ruled that Kanu's detention was necessary to ensure that he appears in court to face trial.
It's worth noting that Kanu has been in detention since October 2015, when he was arrested by the Nigerian government and charged with treasonable felony. He has been denied bail several times, and his case has been adjourned several times due to various reasons.
The decision to reject Kanu's bail application is likely to be seen as a setback for his supporters, who have been calling for his release. However, the Nigerian government has maintained that Kanu's detention is necessary to prevent him from continuing to promote separatist sentiments and to ensure public safety.
It's unclear what the next steps will be in Kanu's case, but it's likely that his lawyers will appeal the decision to reject his bail application.
