A Federal High Court judge in Abuja has denied bail to controversial director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu. Hon Justice John Tsoho gave the final ruling on Kanu's bail application during a hearing at the federal high court Maitama in Abuja, Nigeria's capital, on Friday 29 January.
Ifeanyi Ejiofor, one of the lawyers representing Kanu, told IBTimes UK that his client, who holds both a British and a Nigeria passport, could be allowed to leave the country if he is granted bail. Speaking before the hearing, the lawyer also said he was confident Kanu would be released.
