A Magistrate’s Court in Kuje, Abuja, has granted bail to human rights activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore, Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer Aloy Ejimakor, and 11 other co-defendants.
The court set bail at ₦500,000 for each defendant on Friday. Each must provide two sureties for the same amount.
The 13 individuals face charges of inciting public disturbance and breach of peace. The charges stem from their involvement in the #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest held in Abuja on Monday, October 20.
While Ejimakor, Kanu’s brother Prince Emmanuel Kanu, and ten others were arrested during the protest and remanded in the Kuje Correctional Centre, Sowore was arrested later on October 23 at the Federal High Court in Abuja after attending the terrorism trial of the IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
