Ohanaeze Ndigbo, an Igbo sociocultural organization, has criticized Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja for refusing to grant bail to Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
According to Anaedoonline.ng, Justice Nyako postponed the pro-Biafra activist’s case to November 14, 2022, awaiting the Appeal Court’s decision.
After the High Court denied Nnamdi Kanu’s request for bail, it was believed that his legal team will submit an appeal to the Court of Appeal.

The IPOB leader is facing charges of treason, leading an unlawful organization, and bail skipping.
In an interview with Newsmen on Tuesday, Damian Okeke-Ogene, the National Vice-Chairman of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, asserted that the President does not want to free Kanu and wants the unrest in the South East to continue.
Ogene added that Buhari’s recent utterances in the build-up to the court sitting greatly influenced the decision of the court to deny Kanu’s bail application.
“If you assess the President’s comments and utterances before today’s court sitting, you will understand that he was not interested in releasing the young man because he knows that doing so will bring happiness to the people of the South-East, who are longing for his release.

“Although, the court has adjourned the matter, but Buhari’s recent utterances in the build-up to the court sitting greatly influenced the decision of the court and the President knows that keeping Kanu means that the insecurity in the South-East will continue because the people see him as their idol and they want him released,” he said.
