We Don't Care if FG Revokes Kanu's Bail - IPOB

KAY June 05, 2017 0

The Indigenous People of Biafra, on Sunday, said it was not losing sleep over reports that the Federal Government may ask an Abuja Federal High Court to revoke the bail granted to its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, on grounds of alleged breach of the bail conditions.

 

Part of the major conditions of the bail which Justice Binta Nyako had granted Kanu on April 25, 2017, included prohibition from granting press interview. The judge also barred Kanu from participating in any rally and warned that he should never be found in any crowd of more than 10 persons.

 

Saturday PUNCH reported that sources in the Federal Ministry of Justice in Abuja have revealed that alleged breaches of the bail conditions by Kanu were being observed, and may be relied on by the Federal Government to ask the court to revoke the bail.

 

However, reacting to the development, IPOB said it does not care if the Federal Government decides to revoke Kanu’s bail.

 

IPOB spokesman, Comrade Emma Powerful, who made the declaration while responding to a correspondent’s enq
, said the revocation of Kanu’s bail would not affect the agitation for Biafra.

 

In an email, which he sent to a correspondent, the IPOB spokesman added that arresting Kanu again would be a major mistake on the part of the Federal Government.

 

“We don’t give a damn – whether they arrest him (Kanu) or not, we don’t bother.

“Whether keep Nnamdi Kanu in or out of Nigerian prisons, the restoration effort continues unabated,” Powerful said, adding that “Having Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in prison is always good for the struggle to restore Biafra.”
