A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has adjourned the
ongoing trial of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi
Kanu.
DAILY POST reliably gathered from a source that the court
adjourned the ongoing trial of the IPOB leader to October 17 because it’s on
“recess.”
Kanu alongside three others: David Nwawuisi, Benjamin
Madubugwu and Chidiebere Onwudiwe are facing treasonable charges before the
Justice Binta Nyako-led court.
Recall that the Justice Nyako, who had in April granted Kanu
bail on health grounds with 12 conditions, and had fixed today for continuation
of the trial.
Justice Nyako in her ruling had listed the bail conditions
to include, “Produce three sureties and two of whom must be; (a) highly
respected and recognized Jewish leader and (b) highly placed Igbo person such
as a Senator. The third surety must be resident in Abuja with a landed property
in the same Abuja. Above all, the three sureties must deposit one hundred
million naira (N100million) each.
“Barred from attending any rally and granting any form of
interview.
“Must not be in a crowd exceeding 10 persons.
“Must surrender his British and Nigerian passports even when
these passports are still in the custody of the DSS.
“Must sign an undertaking to avail himself for trial at all
times.”
However, the IPOB leader is seen to have flouted some of the
bail conditions, as has since been addressing the press and seen in company of
more than 10 people.
IPOB has, however, dismissed reports of Kanu flouting his
bail conditions.
