The Abuja Dvision of the Federal High Court has denied the bail application of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.

Justice Binta Nyako after hearing both arguments from the prosecution counsel and defendants denied Mr Kanu’s application bail on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari’s regime has amended the charges preferred against the separatist leader, listing his lawyers as accomplices.

In the amended six-count of treasonable felony, the regime accused Ifeanyi Ejiofor and Maxwell Opara, as accomplices constantly communicating with Mr Kanu when he evaded justice by jumping bail.
