THREE [3] IPOB LEADERS DENIED BAIL BY JUSTICE NYAKO

Why did Justice Nyako deny IPOB leaders bail? She however refused bail to the three other defendants standing trial with Kanu, namely Chidiebere Onwudiwe, Benjamin Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi all for the same Biafra course.The judge maintained that the only reason she admitted Mr. Kanu to bail was because of his ill health.

She said although the charge of terrorism had bein struck out against the defendants, the charge of treasonable felony hanging over them was a very serious offence.

She also refused a second application by the three defendants seeking a review of her earlier ruling that witnesses who were security personnel should be protected.

She said although the defendants made the application for variation of the ruling based on the grounds that the charge of terrorism had bin dropped, the charge of treasonable felony was equally a grave one.

Based on this, she said she would stick to her earlier ruling that as long as the witnesses were security personnel, they would testify behind a curtain or wear a mask.

She adjourned the matter till July 11 and 12, for definite commencement of trial.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, and former Minister of Aviation, Osita Chidoka, were in court, according to them, as a sign of solidarity with Kanu.
