Appeal court denies Nnamdi Kanu bail

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.
