A Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday granted bail to the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, on health grounds.

This has come as cheering news to many Nigerians as it’s currently trending on twitter.

However, a close look at the bail conditions indicates a prison away from the confines of Kuje prison walls.

The reason for granting Nnamdi Kanu bail according to the presiding judge is on health ground.

“Justice Nyako noted that she had observed that Kanu always had to sit down in the dock whenever he appeared in court, a development which she said could be an indication that he could be suffering from an ailment that could not be treated in prison.”

One would have expected a bail granted on “health ground” to be such that reflects the observation of the presiding judge, she notwithstanding, granted ‘sick Kanu’ bail in the sum of N100m with three sureties in like sums.

The judge also ordered that one of the sureties to be provided by the defendant must be a highly placed person such as a senator.

Kanu, having identified with Judaism, She directed that the other must be a highly recognized leader in the religion being practised by Kanu (Judaism).

The third surety, according to the judge, must be a resident of Abuja and who must have a landed property in the Federal Capital Territory.

The judge also gave a stern warning to the defendant not to participate in any rally or be found in a crowd of more than 10 persons in the course of the bail.

The judge would have simply spared Nigerians this unnecessary sensational Bail granting ruling by simply requesting that the accused be taken to the hospital by the prison officials to be treated and returned to Kuje.

This conditions if accepted by Nnamdi Kanu will possibly put him where the FG will have opportunity to further press more charges against him.

How can you release a figure like Nnamdi Kanu and demand he not engage or participate in any gathering of more than ten persons.

The judge should have seen such conditions broken right from the moment he exit the chambers, going by the number of followers who besieged the venue of the ruling, let alone the mammon crowd that awaits his arrival if at all FG allows his exit from Kuje prison.

Recall that The Leader of the indigenous People of Biafra IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu was granted bail On December 17, 2015, by Justice Adeniyi Ademola.

Adeniyi Ademola, a judge of the Federal High Court ordered Kanu’s unconditional release, a judgement FG did not obey till date.

This kind of bail condition must be condemned by all peace loving Nigerians as it will possibly put in motion the process for Kanu’s further conviction.

Killing of Nigerians anywhere is condemnable, thus, any action which will give our trigger happy Nigerian security personnel the avenue to use live bullets on protesting Nigerians must be avoided.

It will also be in the interest of Nnamdi Kanu and his followers for him to reconsider this bail conditions if it will indeed be beneficial.

He should reject this out outrageous bail conditions so he is not boxed in a corner which will make FG hang him

I have to admit that the bail conditions are one of the most ridiculous I have ever seen.
