A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has varied the bail conditions granted a 21-year-old woman, Glory Okolie, who was arrested and enslaved by operatives of the Inspector-General of Police’s Intelligence Response Team (IRT) in Imo State.
The police had arrested Okolie in June 2021 for allegedly being friends with a suspected member of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

She was later transferred to Abuja, despite efforts by her family members to secure her release.
Okolie was accused of offences bordering on terrorism and was arrested by the Nigeria Police Force for allegedly being friends with a suspected member of the IPOB.
She has spent 170 days in illegal detention.
