Sowore, Kanu’s Lawyer, Brother Regain Freedom After Days in Detention

 

Human rights activist and publisher, Omoyele Sowore has been released after days in detention.

 

Recall that he was arrested for protesting against the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra.

 

He was later re-arrested by operatives led by CSP Ilyasu Barau, Officer in Charge of Anti-Vice under the DC-CID, FCT Command, at the Kuje Magistrate Court in Abuja, while his legal team was in the process of perfecting his bail conditions.

 

Sowore was released alongside Aloy Ejimakor, a member of the legal team representing the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu; the IPOB leader’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.
