The IPOB leader’s lawyer said “The moment the President pronounced to the world that Kanu cannot be granted bail by any court, he made my client a political prisoner, and the media chat inadvertently prejudiced the judge’s mind.”
You will recall that Mr. President, during his maiden media chat, referred to Kanu’s case.
