A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the arrest of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.

This is as the court also revoked the bail granted him.

The order for his arrest was issued on Thursday by Justice Binta Nyako following the continued failure of Kanu to appear in court.

Kanu is being tried over charges bordering on treasonable felony.

He was released on bail in 2017 on health ground.

As part of the conditions for his release, he was requested to produce three sureties with N100 million each.

One of the sureties, the court said, must be a highly placed person of Igbo origin; the second must be a highly respected Jewish leader as Kanu’s religion is Judaism and the third must be owner of a landed property and be resident in Abuja.

The court also restricted Kanu from granting interviews or hold any rallies.

Kanu has however disappeared.

He has since been seen in videos, obviously outside the country.

He has also at different times condemned the government of Nigeria.
