A federal high court in Abuja  granted bail to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Tuesday.

Kanu has been in detention since operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) arrested him in Lagos in 2015.

Binta Nyako, the judge who freed Kanu, based her action on his health condition.

However, she threatened to revoke his bail if he did not comply with the directives of not speaking with journalists or attending rallies.

Here are some Twitter reactions to Kanu’s release:

We live in a nation were terrorist r given freedom of expression in d court while citizens like Nnamdi Kanu always handcuffed @ipobworldnews

The FG scored an own goal with Nnamdi Kanu.
Somebody they could have made fade into obscurity and Oblivion they instead chose to persecute

Where are all the Igbo governors on a day when Nnamdi Kanu's case is heard in court? I hear Fayose is there! Fani kayode is there

LOL. Why are people hysteric about Nnamdi Kanu's bail.
The question should be whether he won't be rearrested again.

It's difficult to stand for your right in a country like Nigeria, this Nnamdi Kanu did it! Yet to know how

— Iyke 👑👑 (@omakaiyke) April 25, 2017

Nnamdi Kanu is still very much a Nigerian. Why are conditions for his bail stringent?

— Ariyo Nnamdi (@EnamDee) April 25, 2017

I think this should be the second time Nnamdi KANU will be granted bail. Let's hope the powers that be will eventually free him

Don't be surprised if he gets popped shortly after his release. They'd be like at least he didn't die in our custody. #NnamdiKanu

Did they say a Jewish person must come forth for Nnamdi Kanu's bail?

You people want to drag Israel's leg into this and maybe then Trump?
