Nnamdi Kanu granted bail

As part of his bail conditions, Kanu was ordered never to grant any press interview pending the outcome of his trial.

The court also ordered that he will not be in a gathering of more than 10 persons.

The judge on the matter Justice Binta Nyako said Kanu’s bail will be revoked if any of the orders are flouted.

The Punch reports that different Igbo groups expressed disappointment at the conditions and said this was a prison outside a prison.

The Igbo Women Assembly said they wondered why Kanu was released and said the fight had just started.

“The conditionalities of Kanu’s bail is funny and designed to cage him and imprison him the more, it smacks of paranoia on the

side of government. We are not excited.

“We are happy he is out though; we wonder why they left him alone. The struggle is just beginning.”

Evang. Eliot Uko who is the leader of the Igbo youth movement said the government was afraid of Kanu.

“Those who packaged the bail conditions are clearly afraid of the big masquerade they have unwittingly created in their mistaken attempt to crush the uprising of the oppressed younger generation.

“From the bail conditions we can see that the haphazard bail is designed to entrap Nnamdi and weaken IPOB.”

The Eastern Consultative Assembly said the Enugu airport would not have been able to contain the crowd that would have come to welcome Kanu when he returned.

“The fear of the popularity of Nnamdi Kanu has given birth to a laughable bail condition, which looks like imprisonment outside of the prison wall.

“The government is clearly afraid of the electrifying popularity of Kanu that would have shut down all the markets, schools and offices in Igboland on the arrival of Kanu in Enugu.

“In fact, the Enugu airport would not have survived the surge of human crowd that would have welcomed Kanu in their millions.”
