A federal high court in Abuja granted bail to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Tuesday.
Kanu has been in detention since operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) arrested him in Lagos in 2015.
Binta Nyako, the judge who freed Kanu, based her action on his health condition.
However, she threatened to revoke his bail if he did not comply with the directives of not speaking with journalists or attending rallies.

The FG scored an own goal with Nnamdi Kanu.

I think this should be the second time Nnamdi KANU will be granted bail. Let's hope the powers that be will eventually free him

Don't be surprised if he gets popped shortly after his release. They'd be like at least he didn't die in our custody. #NnamdiKanu

Did they say a Jewish person must come forth for Nnamdi Kanu's bail?
You people want to drag Israel's leg into this and maybe then Trump?
