The Nigerian Police has reportedly placed the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu under close surveillance.
According to news reports , this is to prevent Kanu
from fleeing the country should the court decide to revoke his bail.
The Federal Government had filed an application before a Federal High Court in Abuja, seeking the revocation of Kanu's bail and his re-arrest for allegedly flouting his bail conditions.
he said:
We have made additional deployments, particularly in Anambra state because of the upcoming governorship election and also to other south-east and south-south states to ensure that IPOB did not actualise its threat of stopping the election.

"So
also, any pronouncement from the court would be strictly enforced,
irrespective of the persons involved. Nobody is above the law, so any
court pronouncement would be enforced by the police.
"We
are not leaving anything to chance; we are to ensure there is law and
order and any pronouncement from the court would be strictly enforced.
We are watching the situation closely. We have made enough deployments
and we are going to act appropriately."
