A Magistrate’s Court in Kuje, Abuja, has granted bail to activist and publisher Omoyele Sowore, along with Aloy Ejimakor — a lawyer on Nnamdi Kanu’s legal team — the IPOB leader’s brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, and ten other persons.

The court approved bail in the sum of ₦500,000 each, with two sureties in like sum.

The thirteen defendants had been charged with inciting public disturbance and breaching the peace following their participation in the #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest, which took place in Abuja on October 20.

While Ejimakor, Emmanuel, and the other protesters were detained at the Kuje Correctional Centre after their arrest during the rally, Sowore was picked up on October 23 at the Federal High Court premises in Abuja, where he had gone to show support during Kanu’s ongoing terrorism trial.
