Operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS, and men
of the Nigerian Prisons Service, DSS, returned the leader of the Indigenous
People of Biafra, IPOB, back to Kuje Prison after he was granted bail by an
Abuja Federal High Court.
The decision shows that until Kanu meets his bail condition,
he cannot be set free.
Kanu alongside three other pro-Biafra agitators were whisked
away in a green prisons vehicle escorted by four other black hilux vans
carrying men of the secret police.
Recall that the Justice Binta Nyako-led Court had earlier
granted the IPOB leader bail on health grounds.
In her ruling, the judge had ordered Kanu to provide three
sureties one of who must be a serving senator, a jewish religious leader and
highly respected person.
She held that they must own property anywhere in Abuja, but
put the bail bond at N100 million for each surety.
Justice Nyako also ordered the IPOB leader never to grant
any press interview pending the outcome of his trial.
Noting that Kanu should not be in a gathering of more than
10 persons, the judge warned that the bail granted the IPOB leader would be
revoked if any of the orders are flouted.
