Prince Kanu, his brother, confirmed this on Friday.

Also, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, Kanu’s lawyer, insisted his client had perfected his bail conditions.

Nyako had told him to present three sureties – one of whom must be a serving senator; the second, a Jewish leader, and the third, a highly respected Nigerian.

All the conditions were met on Friday.

After perfecting his bail condition, Nnamdi Kanu was released from prision.

In October 2015, a magistrate court in Abuja discharged and acquitted Kanu of all charges of terrorism brought against him by the federal government.

But the government through its agent – the Department of State Services (DSS) filed another suit against him at the federal high court, Abuja, while keeping him in‎ detention.

Adeniyi Ademola, another justice of the‎ federal high court, Abuja, also ordered the unconditional release of Kanu owing to the reluctance of the DSS to file a charge against him at the time, but he was not released.

Kanu is currently facing charges of treasonable felony.
