The Director of Radio Biafra ,Mazi Nnamdi Kanu may have rejected the bail granted him by Justice Binta Nyako on Tuesday 25th ,2017 insisting that he would not leave the prison unless his co-accused were released alongside with him. Note that KANU was granted bail on health ground while the others standing trial with him were to return to Kuje.Instead of making efforts to kiss the air of freedom outside Kuje,Kanu opted to join his colleagues in Kuje until all of them are granted bail. Meanwhile,it has been noted that the bail conditions granted to Kanu is stringent and wicked. Gen Achuzia is not happy with the tough bail conditions but concluded that there is hope.Dr Ikedife has also reacted to the development by insisting that Kanu should be released without such ridiculous bail conditions even as the Judge admitted that Kanu was granted bail on health condition. In a brief ruling, Justice Binta Nyako, said that she was convinced that Kanu was ill and needed more medical attention than the Nigerian Prisons was giving him. “The first defendant, Nnamdi Kanu, has appealed to the court for bail based on health grounds and it is only the living that can stand trial. “So I am minded to grant him bail so that he can attend to his health and face his trial alive,” Justice Nyako said. She, however, gave 12 conditions which Mr. Kanu must fulfill to be released on bail, and to continue to enjoy the temporary freedom. The conditions are: — Mr. Kanu must not hold rallies. — He must not grant interviews. — He must not be in a crowd of more than 10 people. — He must provide three sureties in the sum of N100 million each. — One of the sureties must be a senior highly placed person of Igbo extraction such as a senator. — The second surety must be a highly respected Jewish leader since Mr. Kanu said his religion is Judaism. — The third surety must be a highly respected person who owns landed property and is resident in Abuja — The IPOB leader must deposit his Nigerian passport — He must also deposit his British passport with the court — He must provide the court with reports on the progress of his health and treatment on a monthly basis. Justice Nyako however refused bail to the three other defendants standing trial with Kanu, namely Chidiebere Onwudiwe, Benjamin Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi. 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 been 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 had made the application for variation of the ruling based on the grounds that the charge of terrorism had been 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. BVI Channel 1 can confirm that Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, and Fani Kayode were in court, according to them, as a sign of solidarity with Kanu. Mr. Kanu was arrested in 2015 on an 11-count charge bordering on terrorism and treasonable felony. Six of the charges, including that of terrorism, were struck out early in 2017. ndubuisi for BVI Channel 1
