Senior Nigerian lawyer, Paul Ananaba, has admitted on Friday that the supreme court could set Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the banned group IPOB, free on bail.
After a lower court cleared Kanu of charges, the government appealed, leading the Supreme Court to order a trial.
Speaking on TV, Ananaba noted people were hoping for Kanu’s release and said the Supreme Court had the power to allow it.
Ananaba said, “I believe the Supreme Court had all the inherent powers to take any decision in the best interest of the country.
“My expectations would have been that, having found out that the way the arrest was done wasn’t approved by the Supreme Court, having found that the invasion of Kanu’s residence and all that wasn’t acceptable, I had expected that Nnamdi Kanu should stand his trial, but the Supreme Court also had the right and the powers to have granted him bail on some certain conditions.
“When the Supreme Court had found that that bail was wrongly revoked, I believe the Supreme Court would have made a consequential order in that order that ‘that bail be restored’.
