A
Federal High Court in Abuja has turned down a bail request by the detained
leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.
The
court said on Friday that Mr. Kanu must remain in prison pending his trial for
alleged treason.
Mr.
Kanu has been in detention since his arrest in October.
The
government accuses him of running an underground radio that spreads hate
messages in a push for the creation of independent state of Biafra.
He
had earlier been granted bail twice by the courts, but the government refused
to release him.
