The Court of Appeal in Abuja has affirmed the decision of
the Federal High Court to deny the bail application of the leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu. In its ruling this morning, the
three man panel of the Appeal court led by Justice Abdul Aboki, ruled that the
lower court was right in denying Kanu bail considering the nature and the
circumstances of his case.
“The lower court
has the power to exercise its discretion on the matter and the exercise of such
discretion by the trial judge did not amount to denial of fair hearing to the
defendants. The issues are resolved against the appellants. Ruling of the trial
court is hereby upheld.”the judge said
Nnamdi Kanu is standing trial for treason.
