After one and half yrs in detention, Kanu finally leaves Kuje prison
After spending a year and six months in Kuje Prison Abuja, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, on Friday left Kuje prison.
Kanu was arrested by Nigeria security operatives in October 2015 and has remained in prison till he was granted bail this Friday.
The Abuja Federal High Court had on Thursday granted him bail on health basis and denied the three other members of the group detained alongside Kanu bail.
His lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, disclosed that Kanu having met the bail condition, which many Nigerians described as stringent, was released shortly after all necessary documents were signed by the trial judge.
Kanu reportedly left the prison at about 5pm.
Kanu, along with three others yet to be granted bail are being prosecuted on alleged offences bordering on treasonable charges.
