A Federal High Court will decide fate on the bail application by Mr Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra on January 29.
At the hearing on monday, Mr Kanu, through his counsel, told the court that the offense for which he was standing trial was a bailable one.
However, the Director of Public Prosecution, who represented the Federal Government, asked the court to refuse bail on the grounds that the offence for which Mr Kanu and his co-accused were standing trial was a serious offense.
He also told the court that if granted bail, the accused would interfere with witnesses and evidence.
Having heard the two parties, the trial judge fixed the ruling on the bail application for January 29.
Last week, a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja ordered that Mr Kanu, who had been on detention, be remanded.
