He pointed out that, contrary to the ruling that led to his bail revocation, he never jumped bail.

DAILY POST recalls that on April 25, 2017, the Abuja Federal High Court had granted the IPOB leader bail but it was later revoked and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest on the ground that he jumped bail.

He, however, denied jumping bail, stressing that he left Nigeria when security agents invaded his country home of Afaraukwu in Abia State.

Kanu’s lead counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, had filed a motion of notice, FHC/ABJ/CR/383/2015, before the Abuja Federal High Court, praying that the bail revocation should be set aside over misrepresentation.

The Motion on Notice reads partly: “On 25 April 2017, the applicant was admitted to bail by this Honourable Court. The Applicant was enjoying his bail when he came under attack by agents of the Complainant at his home at Isiama Afaraukwu Ibeku, Umuahia North LGA, Abia State, whereupon the Applicant fled from Nigeria in what was purely an act of self-preservation.

The bail of the Applicant was revoked by this Honourable Court and a bench warrant issued against him upon the application of the Complainant made to this Honorable Court that the Applicant had jumped bail.

“The applicant was, pursuant to said bench warrant, subsequently kidnapped in Kenya by agents of the complainant and was brought to Nigeria by way of extraordinary rendition.
