A Magistrate’s Court in Kuje, Abuja, has granted bail to publisher and activist Omoyele Sowore, Aloy Ejimakor, a member of the legal team representing the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, the IPOB leader’s brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, and ten others.
The court granted bail in the sum of ₦500,000, with two sureties in like sum, to the thirteen defendants who were arrested and arraigned for inciting public disturbance and breach of peace in connection with the #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest held on October 20 in Abuja.
While Ejimakor, Emmanuel, and the other ten defendants were arrested during the protest and later remanded at the Kuje Correctional facility, Sowore was apprehended on October 23 at the premises of the Federal High Court in Abuja after attending Kanu’s terrorism trial to show solidarity.
