The leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) and director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has left Kuje prison in Abuja after being detained for almost two years by the Nigerian government.


A prison source told Saharareporters he left the prison yard a few minutes ago after fulfilling his bail conditions, his co-defendants in a treason trial remained in detention.

Earlier this week, a Federal High Court in Abuja, citing concerns about Mr. Kanu’s health, granted bail to the separatist agitator on stringent conditions.

A prison source revealed that Kuje prison authorities released Mr. Kanu  a few minutes ago adding that the paperwork to realize the separatist leader’s release was finalized by Mr. Kanu’s lawyers and government officials.
