#FreeNnamdiKanu Protest: Police Won’t Attack Us If We Were Bandits – Sowore
Posted by Thandiubani on Tue 21st Oct, 2025 - tori.ngHe stressed that the police would not come near them if they were bandits.
Human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore has lashed out at the Nigerian police.
He was reacting to the police attack on them during a peaceful protest demanding the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.
Speaking on ‘Prime Time’, a programme on Arise Television on Monday, Sowore said the police attacked them because they were peaceful protesters.
He stressed that the police would not come near them if they were bandits.
Recall that Sowore is the main organiser of the Free Nnamdi Kanu’s protest that took place in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, on Monday.
“The protest was not only on social media. It happened everywhere around Abuja. We had six spots where we had thousands of people converge en-masse.
“We were at Utako, Gudu, Apo, which has largest crowd, and we moved to the FCT police command where we were tear-gassed ruthlessly.
“Police attacked us because we were peaceful protesters. If we were bandits, they would not come near us.
“Fortunately, we have chosen a no-violence approach to resolving issues but a generation will come that will not accept this nonsense,” Sowore said.
