A Magistrate’s Court in Kuje, Abuja, on Friday granted bail to publisher and activist Omoyele Sowore; Aloy Ejimakor, a member of the legal team representing detained IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu; Kanu’s brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu; and ten others, in the sum of ₦500,000 each, with two sureties in like sum.
Streetnet earlier reported that the thirteen defendants were arrested and charged with inciting public disturbance and breach of peace over the #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest held on Monday, October 20, in Abuja.

While Ejimakor, Emmanuel, and ten others were arrested during the protest and later remanded at the Kuje Correctional Facility, Sowore was arrested on October 23 at the Federal High Court in Abuja after attending Kanu’s terrorism trial in solidarity.
The protest and subsequent arrests highlight renewed public calls for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, who has been in detention since 2021 despite several court rulings ordering his freedom.
