A Federal High Court in Abuja has fixed March 19, 2024, to rule on the fresh bail application filed by the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu
The court also scheduled March 20, for the commencement of the resumed trial.
The trial judge, Justice Binta Nyanko, adjourned after listening to the argument by counsel to parties in the matter.
The trial resumed on the matter on Monday after being suspended after the Court of Appeal discharged and acquitted Kanu in October 2022.
Kanu has been in DSS detention since June 2021 when he was repatriated from Kenya to Nigeria.
At the court proceedings on Monday, the counsel for the defendant, Alloy Ejimakor told the court he had applied for the bail of his client and a preliminary objection.
He urged the court to grant Kanu bail on health grounds.
Ejimakor also said the continued incarceration of Kanu would affect his defence in the trial.
