Nigerian lawyer urges president to restore bail for Biafra leader Kanu, citing Supreme Court ruling.

Aloy Ejimakor, lawyer for Nnamdi Kanu of the Indigenous People of Biafra, urges Nigerian President Bola Tinubu and Attorney General Lateef Fagbemi to restore Kanu's bail. A 2023 Supreme Court ruling found the revocation of Kanu's bail to be unjust, and Ejimakor argues that it can be restored under Section 287(1) of the Nigerian Constitution. Despite the ruling, Kanu remains in detention and his bail has not been reinstated.
