Nnamdi Kanu, the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, has told the Federal High Court, Abuja, that he was ready to face trial if his safety would be guaranteed by the court.
Kanu told the presiding judge, Justice Binta Nyako, through his counsel, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, that the application to restore the IPOB leader’s bail so that he could face his trial was filed on April 1.
He said “We have an application for bail filed on April 1, 2019, the application was served on the prosecution and it is ripped for hearing. We urge the court to restore his bail on the ground that the court will guarantee his safety when he comes back to the country to continue his trial”.
Delivering the ruling, Justice Nyako, who adjourned the matter till January 16, said the only way he could guarantee Kanu’s safety was to keep him in prison. She said even judges are no longer safe in the country.
