Biafra: Nnamdi Kanu Appears In Court After Re-Arrest

 Nnamdi Kanu appears in court after re-arrest

The chief of the Indigenous People of Biafra Nnamdi Kanu was arrested on Sunday and added to Nigeria, the country’s legal professional general Abubakar Malami stated on Tuesday.


Government-owned news agency stated that the IPOB chief appeared before Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court, Abuja.


Kanu, who was brought to the court amidst tight security, arrived at the court at about 1:40 pm.


Kanu is facing a sleuth of charges, most of which are linked to his call for the independence of the southeastern region of Nigeria.

He was once first arrested in October 2015 by the Nigerian government and was granted bail in April 2017.

Justice Binta Nyako ordered him not to attend any rally, grant interviews or be in a gathering of more than 10 persons.


The judge, in addition, ordered that the defendant should produce three sureties with N100 million each, who should include a highly respected Jewish leader since, according to her, the defendant claimed Judaism as his religion, a senior and highly placed individual of Igbo extraction and in the ranking of a senator, whilst the last is expected to be a respected individual resident in Abuja with proof of possession of landed property.

Kanu, a former real estate agent in London, was additionally ordered to deposit his global passport, such as his British passport with the court.

He was released after meeting all the bail conditions.


A year and some months after soldiers raided his father’s residence in Abia state Kanu was seen in Jerusalem on October 19, 2018.


It was uncertain how he got to Jerusalem without his travel documents and his trial has stalled due to his regular absence from court.


Three persons that stood surety for him were dragged to court by the Nigerian government, claiming that the separatist leader violated terms of his bail.
