Human rights activist and publisher, Omoyele Sowore, has regained his freedom from police custody after spending a few days in detention at the Federal Capital Territory.
Sowore’s release comes days after he was 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.
