Recent move by the Federal Government to re-arrest the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, had been supported by majority of The Nation online readers.
They said the Radio Biafra founder should be re-arrested for flouting his bail conditions.
At least 1,522 readers responded to a poll topic “Should the Federal Government re-arrest IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, for allegedly violating his bail conditions?” posted on our website – www.thenationonlineng.net.
The readers were expected to pick three options – (i) Yes, (ii) No, and (iii) I don’t know.
1, 009 readers (66%) of the total respondents voted “Yes” indicating that the IPOB leader should be re-arrested for flouting the bail conditions, while 473 (31%) picked No.
The remaining 40 readers (3%) of the total respondents selected “I don’t know.”
Kanu, who was granted “iron” bail by the Federal High Court, Abuja, on April 26, had allegedly flouted some of the bail conditions by organizing rallies to the dismay of federal government who had initiated moves to take him back to prison.
Justice Binta Nyako, who dismissed the bail applications of three other pro-Biafra agitators, Chidiebere Onwudiwe, Benjamin Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi, barred Kanu from attending rallies.
She also ordered the IPOB leader to avoid crowd exceeding 10 persons and produce three sureties including a highly respected Jewish leader, among other stringent bail conditions.
Kanu is standing trial for criminal conspiracy, intimidation and membership of an illegal organization.
