Human rights activist and publisher, Omoyele Sowore, has regained his freedom after spending several days in detention.
Sowore was arrested during a protest demanding the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
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 finalizing his bail conditions.
Sowore was released alongside Aloy Ejimakor, a member of Kanu’s legal team; Prince Kanu, the IPOB leader’s brother; and ten others.
Their release followed the fulfillment of their bail conditions, which included a ₦500,000 bond and two sureties in like sum for each defendant.
The group had earlier been arrested for allegedly violating court orders that restricted #FreeNnamdiKanu protesters from marching on specific routes, especially those leading to the seat of power in the Federal Capital Territory.
