The Federal Government has asked
the court to revoke the bail granted to the leader of the Indigenous
People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.
The government cited disobedience
of the bail conditions granted to Kanu as part of the reasons for its request.
The Government made the call in
an application it filed at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
In a Motion on Notice, the
government is seeking an order of the court “revoking the bail granted to the
1st defendant (Kanu) on 25th April, 2017”.
It is also seeking an order of
the court “directing the arrest and committing the 1st defendant to custody
pending trial”.
Kanu is standing trial for
conspiracy to commit acts of treasonable felony, treasonable felony and other
related offences at the court; offences that the government said are not
ordinarily bailable.
The government also said the IPOB
leader had violated the terms of his bail conditions, which include that he
should not be seen in a crowd exceeding 10 people; he should not grant any
interviews, hold or attend any rallies; and that he should file in court
medical updates of his health status every month.
Other grounds for the
government’s application are that “rather than observing all of the conditions
listed above, the 1st defendant in flagrant disobedience to the court order
flouted all conditions of the bail; the first defendant has in furtherance to
the offence (for which) he was charged, inaugurated Biafra Security Service;
and that such an act is a grave threat to national security and unity of the
country”.
Joined in the application with
Kanu are: Chidiebere Onwudiwe, Benjamin Madubugwu, David Nwawuisi and Bright
Chimezie.
The office of the Attorney
General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN)
confirmed the application in a statement the Special Adviser, Media and
Publicity to the AGF, Salihu Othman Isah.
The FG must go and arrest the parasitic Arewa Youths who issued quit notice to fellow Nigerian citizens living in the north. What kind of a nation issues its citizens quit notice. Despite their hate speech, terrorism and treason, Buhrai/Osinbajo/APC government is still treating them with kid glove. It’s Nnamdi Kanu – the leader of Biafra nation they want to arrest. They are looking for second civil war.
