Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Ahead of the legal battle for bail later today, the lawyers to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafran IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu have stormed the Federal High Court in Abuja.<\/p>\n

The legal team, led by Mr Ifeanyi Ejiofor, arrived the court as early as 8am with over 50 others already inside the court room.<\/p>\n

However, unlike the previous proceedings, security is relaxed from the Court\u2019s main gate to that of the Court door.<\/p>\n

But for the presence of Kanu\u2019s lawyers, there has been nothing to suggest that the IPOB leader would be brought to court.<\/p>\n

At the time of this report, it could not be ascertained if the detained Biafran leader would appear in court physically.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST, however, gathered that Kanu\u2019s bail motion would be entertained by Justice Binta Nyako later in the day after attending to regular matters slated for the day.<\/p>\n

Our correspondent also gathered that the Judge has instructed that the court room be cleaned before Kanu\u2019s matter would be called.<\/p>\n
