Sowore, Kanu’s lawyer, and brother regain freedom after days in detention
Human rights activist and publisher, Omoyele Sowore, has been released from police custody after spending several days in detention in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Sowore’s release followed his re-arrest by officers led by CSP Ilyasu Barau, head of the Anti-Vice Unit under the DC-CID, FCT Command, at the Kuje Magistrate Court in Abuja while his lawyers were finalizing his bail conditions.
He was released alongside Aloy Ejimakor, a lawyer representing the detained IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu; Kanu’s brother, Prince Kanu; and ten others.
They were discharged after meeting their bail conditions, which included a N500,000 bond each and two sureties in like sum.
The group were previously arrested for contravening court orders that prohibited the #FreeNnamdiKanu protesters from marching on certain roads, particularly those leading to the seat of power in the FCT.
