BREAKING: IPOB Leader, Nnamdi Kanu Scheduled For Emergency Hearing On Thursday, Could Be Released On Bail
Nnamdi Kanu, the arrested leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has an emergency hearing scheduled for tomorrow (Thursday), which could result in his release on bail.
The hearing could pave the way for Kanu’s release on bail, as SaharaReporters exclusively learned on Wednesday.
The Nigerian government’s attorney in the lawsuit revealed this exclusively to SaharaReporters.
According to Nigerian government lawyers, the move is in response to Igbo leaders’ passionate pleas for the release of the pro-Biafra activist.
“Nnamdi Kanu has an emergency hearing scheduled for tomorrow, which could result in his release on bail.
On Wednesday, one of the individuals said, “This is in response to Igbo elders’ appeal for his release.”

On Friday, November 19, President Muhammadu Buhari stated he would consider the unconditional release of IPOB leader Ibrahim Magu as demanded by elder statesmen from the South-East.
Buhari, on the other hand, stated that such a proposal was a difficult one to assess, but that he would consider it.
Buhari made the remarks when hosting a delegation of Highly Respected Igbo Greats, led by Mbazulike Amaechi, a First Republic legislator and Minister of Aviation, at State House in Abuja earlier in November.
Amaechi, a nonagenarian, has described the situation in the South-East as “sad and pathetic,” lamenting the failure of enterprises, the disintegration of education, and the spread of terror.
He had pleaded for a political solution rather than a military one, claiming that if Kanu was released to him as the only remaining First Republic Minister, “he (Kanu) would no longer say the things he had been saying,” stressing that he could control him because “not because I have anything to do with them (IPOB), but I am highly respected in Igbo land today.””
A Presidential media aide, Femi Adesina, had revealed this in a statement titled, “President Buhari to Igbo Leaders: Your demand for Nnamdi Kanu’s release is heavy. I will consider it.”
However, in his response, Buhari had said, “You’ve made an extremely difficult demand on me as leader of this country. The implication of your request is very serious. In the last six years, since I became President, nobody would say I have confronted or interfered in the work of the Judiciary. God has spared you, and given you a clear head at this age, with very sharp memory. A lot of people half your age are confused already. But the demand you made is heavy. I will consider it.”
Stressing his policy of non-interference with the Judiciary, the President said when Kanu jumped bail, got arrested and was brought back to the country, “I said the best thing was to subject him to the system. Let him make his case in court, instead of giving very negative impressions of the country from the outside. I feel it’s even a favour to give him that opportunity.
The IPOB leader is currently standing trial at the Federal High Court, Abuja for terrorism-related charges.
Kanu was illegally arrested in Kenya and renditioned to Nigeria in June.
