Nnamdi Kanu, leader
of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has fulfilled the conditions for his
release.
Prince
Kanu, his brother, confirmed to TheCable on Friday, that the conditions for the
release of the IPOB leader had been met.
“Yes,
we have fulfilled the bail conditions,” he said in response to a question from
TheCable.
“In
fact, we are on our way to the prison now.”
Also,
Ifeanyi Ejiofor, Kanu’s lawyer, told TheCable that his client had perfected his
bail conditions.
“Yes,
he (kanu) has fulfilled his bail conditions,” he said.
On
Tuesday, Binta Nyako, justice of the federal high court, Abuja, granted Kanu
bail on stringent terms.
One
of the conditions is that he must present three sureties – one of whom must be
a serving senator, a Jewish high priest and a highly respected Nigerian.
Also,
he must not be seen in a crowd or gathering of more than 10 people. He must
also not grant interviews of any kind.
TheCable
understands that Eyinnaya Abaribe, a senator from Abia south; Immanuu
El-Shalom, an Igbo Jewish leader, and Tochukwu Uchendu, a businessman, stood in
as sureties for Kanu.
Kanu
is facing charges of treasonable felony brought against him by the federal
government. He has been in detention since late 2015.
