Omoyele Sowore, human rights activist and former Presidential Candidate, who spearheaded the #FreeNnamdiKanuProtest on Monday in Abuja, has been arrested at the Federal High Court Abuja.
Sowore had escaped arrest on Monday when the Police arrested Alloy Ejimakor, one of the Lawyers to Nnamdi Kanu, Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, alongside other protesters.
Sowore had announced the arrest of Ejimakor, 13 Protesters and the brother to the IPOB Leader.
The SaharaReporter Publisher was at the Federal High Court, Abuja, for the continuation of Kanu’s case.
Sowore had earlier posted on his Social Media Page; “Today, I met with Kanu Agabi, the lead lawyer for Kanu Nnamdi, at the Federal High Court, and he disclosed that his team will be withdrawing from the case, leaving Nnamdi Kanu to continue his trial without representation. He was sure that it was completely political.”
As he made his way out of the court, a Police team accosted him and asked that he follows them to the station.
After back and forth, the politician and activist went with them.
Speaking on the arrest, one of Sowore’s associates said that the Commissioner of Police in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), had earlier invited him.
“He was going to honour their invitation. It was in the itinerary. I wonder why they were so much in a hurry,” said the associate who craved anonymity.
