A Magistrate’s Court sitting in Kuje, Abuja, on Friday granted bail to human rights activist and publisher, Omoyele Sowore; Aloy Ejimakor, special counsel to detained IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu; Prince Emmanuel Kanu, Kanu’s younger brother; and ten others.
The court granted each of the 13 defendants bail in the sum of ₦500,000, with two sureties in like sum.
All the defendants were arrested and charged with inciting public disturbance and breach of peace over their participation in the #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest held in Abuja on Monday, October 20.
While Ejimakor, Emmanuel Kanu, and the other ten protesters were apprehended during the demonstration and subsequently remanded at the Kuje Correctional Centre, Sowore was arrested separately on October 23 at the Federal High Court, Abuja, shortly after attending Kanu’s trial in solidarity.
