Edo Court Grants Bail to Activist Harrison Gwamnishu

A High Court in Edo State has granted bail to activist Harrison Gwamnishu, allowing him to regain his freedom pending further proceedings.

Gwamnishu had been held in police custody over allegations that he misappropriated part of the crowdfunded ransom for a young couple abducted in Aviele community near Auchi on November 22, 2025.

Announcing the development, Ossai Success Ovie, an aide to the Delta State Governor, wrote on Facebook: “Harrison Gwamnishu has been granted bail at the High Court of Justice in Edo State. Very Dark Man and others are now disappointed. Their plans failed woefully. I am disappointed in them all. Glory be to Jesus.”

The bail ruling marks a significant turn in the case, ending Gwamnishu’s detention while the matter continues in court.
