Kemi Seba to remain in detention as hearing postponed

Kemi Seba will remain in detention after a Pretoria court postponed his hearing again, pushing the next appearance to May 11.

AFP-syndicated reporting said the bail hearing was delayed in South Africa and that Seba must stay in custody until the new date. The case has been moving through Pretoria since his arrest earlier in April.

Seba is wanted in Benin on allegations tied to an alleged coup plot and incitement to rebellion. His lawyer denies the accusations and says Seba has applied for asylum in South Africa.

The delay keeps the case in a holding pattern while judges and authorities continue to weigh bail, immigration and possible extradition issues. For now, the postponement means Seba remains in detention as the broader legal fight continues.
