A Federal High Court judge in Abuja has dismissed a fresh request by Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), for bail and a change in custody.
Justice Binta Nyako rejected the request today, citing previous rulings against Kanu on the same issues.
Kanu who is currently being held by the Department of State Services (DSS), had sought bail reinstatement after a prior bail was revoked due to his absence from court proceedings. He also requested transfer from DSS custody to house arrest or prison.
