Nnamdi Kanu leaves Kuje Prison
The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, has been released from the Kuje Prison in Abuja after meeting bail conditions.
Justice Binta Murtala-Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja had on Tuesday granted bail to Kanu on health grounds.
But the judge directed that Kanu must fulfill certain conditions before he could enjoy the temporary freedom.
Lawyer to Kanu, Mr Ifeanyi Ejiofor, confirmed the release of Kanu in Abuja on Friday evening.
According to Ejiofor, his client met all the conditions attached to the bail and was released shortly after the necessary documents were signed by Justice Murtala-Nyako.
He said, “Nnamdi Kanu left the prison at about 5pm after meeting the bail conditions”.
She said Kanu was granted bail on health grounds.
The judge however barred the IPOB leader from granting press interview while on bail.
The judge also gave a stern warning to the defendant not to participate in any rally or be found in a crowd of more than 10 persons in the course of the bail.
