Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court Abuja, on Monday admitted four mem­bers of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to bail in the sum of N10 million each.

Justice Nyako, admitted Bright Chimezie, Chidiebere Onwudiwe, David Nwawuisdi and Benjamin Madubugwu to bail.
Chimezie, Onwudiwe, Mad­ubugwu and Nwawuisi, aged between 33 and 45, are facing three-count charge of conspiracy to commit treasonable felony and illegal possession of firearms.

They were all arrested in 2016 and had been in detention since then.
They were charged along with the former leader of the IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu who has not been seen since Sept. 22, 2017

Nyako in granting them bail, said she had carefully considered the consolidated application for bail submitted by their counsel and the number of years they had spent in prison custody.

She also made reference to the defendants’ health status as well as the ruling she had read of “a sister judge’’ as well as the Admin­istration of Criminal Justice Act, (ACJA) 2015.
In considering their bail, Justice Nyako ordered the defendants to deposit monetary sum of N10 mil­lion each with the chief registrar of the court.

She added that the defendants are not allowed to travel outside the country, that they are to depos­it their travelling documents at the court as well.
The judge ordered that they were not to be seen in any gather­ing at any time or granting news­men interviews or any type of in­terviews.

“No welcome `oyoyo’ gathering. If you do that, you will be sent back to prison. Go home, be with your family, come to court. The trial has commenced, Nyako said.

At the prayer of the defence counsel, Mr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor, the judge ordered that the defendants to report to the commissioner of police at their locality every two weeks, instead of Abuja.

She ordered the first defendant, Chimezie to report to the commis­sioner of police, Rivers.
Nyako also ordered the second defendant, Onwudiwe and the fourth, Nwawuisdi to both report to the commissioner of police, Enu­gu state.

She said the third, Benjamin Mad­ubugwu should report to the com­missioner of police in Anambra.
Chimezie pleaded the court to stop men of the State Security Op­eratives from invading their resi­dence after being admitted to bail.

Justice Nyako in response, as­sured them that they were under the custody of the court. She ad­journed the commencement of trial until November 14. (NAN)
