Court rejects Nnamdi Kanu’s plea for bail, house arrest
A federal high court in Abuja has dismissed another bail application filed by Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Presiding judge, Binta Nyako, also refused Kanu’s plea to be transferred from the custody of the Department of States Services (DSS) to prison.
The defendant’s request to be placed under house arrest was also rejected.
Kanu is standing trial on a seven-count charge bordering on treasonable felony as preferred against him by the federal government.
