Human rights activist and #FreeNnamdiKanuNow campaigner, Omoyele Sowore, was taken into custody again by the Nigerian Police shortly after his appearance at the Kuje Magistrates’ Court on Friday.
Sowore, together with Prince Emmanuel Kanu—brother of Nnamdi Kanu and a former member of his legal team—and ten others, had earlier satisfied their bail conditions. The court had set bail at ₦500,000 each, requiring two sureties who live within the Federal Capital Territory and can provide valid identification and proof of three years of tax clearance.
Although all the accused met these requirements, police officers reportedly re-arrested only Sowore and escorted him to Kuje Prison immediately after the hearing.
He is expected to appear in court again on Monday, 27 October, to face a new charge concerning his claim that President Bola Tinubu is a criminal.
