Lawyer to the Indigenous People of Biafra, Barr. Maxwell Opara, has revealed how he and other notable Igbo leaders pleaded with IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu to sign his bail.
The human rights activist said that Nnamdi kanu refused to accept his bail initially but they begged him to accept it because of his health.
In a message he shared on his twitter handle, he wrote, “Kanu refused to sign his bail. He said he won’t go unless his co-accused are released.
“We had to beg him, his co-accused had to beg to go because he is really sick. We told him it is a man who is alive that can fight for self determination.
The lawyer further stated that some of the bail conditions given to Nnamdi kanu are against his rights.
He added, “Some of those bail conditions given to Nnamdi Kanu go against the principle of fundamental human rights.
“I’m not his direct counsel but I’m sure my colleague will change that in court soon. The struggle continues.”
Nnamdi Kanu was last Tuseday granted bail by a Federal High Court in Abuja led by Justice Binta Nyako.
He, however, met his bail condition , and land left Kuje prison, Abuja, later in the week.
