Nnamdi Kanu , the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra . (IPOB), and the director of London-based radio station Radio Biafra is said to have met all bail condition. Kanu who was arrested on October 17, 2015 in Lagos State, by the Department of State Services (DSS) and had since, remained under detention. According to Vanguard, Nnamdi's lawyer, Vincent Obetta related this information when he was contacted over the telephone.
Obetta
said: ”I got a call from Police authorities asking why my client should
call people out on the streets for demonstration. This is happening in
spite of four court orders I have secured and served to DSS instructing
them to release my client who was granted bail since October 19.
“DSSc has not given any reason for his continued detention. We have
fulfilled his bail conditions. To worsen the matter,he is being detained
in DSS facility instead of prison custody with access to his lawyer and
personal physician. Nnamdi is being detained by an executive order. Its
is a clash between judiciary and executive.
“I have not seen or heard any place where a court grants bail and the
person is not released. Under UN and Africa charter, it is enshrined
that once bail is granted, you release the person upon meeting the bail
conditions. We are sliding to days of Decree 2 and 4 of 1984. This is
pure dictatorship" Obetta said.
