The bail application of Eze Ndigbo of Ajao Estate, Frederick Nwajagu, who is being prosecuted for alleged terrorism, was denied by Justice Yetunde Adesanya of the Lagos State High Court sitting at Tafawa Balewa Square.
Nwajagu has previously claimed that the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) would shut down Lagos State for a month.
He is on trial on a nine-count charge of attempting to conduct terrorist actions, financing terrorism, participating in terrorism, and gathering to support a prohibited entity.
The defendant filed for bail on July 25, 2023, citing his medical reports. He went on to say that he was not a flight risk.
The vacation judge ruled on Friday that the court was compelled to deny the bail motion due to the gravity of the offense and the harshness of the sentence.
