Court denies Nnamdi Kanu bail again

Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) lost the move to regain freedom.

Justice Binta Nyako of an Abuja Federal High Court rejected Kanu’s application seeking to grant him bail.

The IPOB leader sought the court’s permission to discharge the earlier order revoking his bail.

Justice Binta Nyako in her ruling on Tuesday, June 28 ruled that Kanu has not provided sufficient reasons to warrant the court to set aside its order.

She accordingly dismissed the application for being an abuse of the court process.

Real reason Nnamdi Kanu lost bail application?

The Judge said Kanu had failed to inform the court why he could not attend his trials in the last four years.

This ruling was disclosed by Kanu’s Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimajor via his Twitter handle.

Ejimakor said the judge was willing to entertain a new bail application from Kanu.

“June 28 Update: Sadly, the Judge has denied bail to #MNK on grounds that “for 4 years, nothing was filed” in her court to explain why Onyendu did not attend his trial.
