Sowore, Nnamdi Kanu’s Lawyer Released From Kuje Prison
Human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, and Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, have been released from Kuje Prison after four days in detention.
Announcing his release on Monday via X, Sowore wrote, “Happening Now: Leaving Kuje Prison in Abuja after being detained there illegally for four days. #FreeNnamdiKanuNow.”
He was detained last week following his appearance at the Kuje Magistrate Court.
On Friday, a Magistrate Court sitting in Kuje, Abuja, granted bail to the human rights activist, alongside Ejimakor, Prince Emmanuel Kanu (Nnamdi Kanu’s brother), and ten others arrested during the FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest in the Federal Capital Territory.
The court, presided over by Magistrate Abubakar Umar Sai’id, issued the bail order after the defendants were arraigned on charges of unlawful assembly and disturbance of public peace.
