Human rights activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has been released from the Kuje Prison after meeting the bail conditions granted by a Magistrate Court sitting in Kuje, Abuja.
Sowore, alongside Nnamdi Kanu’s Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, Kanu’s younger brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, and 11 other protesters, were arrested by operatives of the Nigeria Police Force over #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest held in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, last week.
The protesters were arraigned before Magistrate Abubakar Umar Sai’id on Friday on charges bordering on unlawful assembly and disturbance of public peace.
In his ruling, Magistrate Sai’id granted the defendants bail in the sum of ₦500,000 each, with the condition that they present a verified National Identification Number (NIN).
The court also directed them to submit their three-year tax clearance certificates and passports as part of the bail requirements.
Following the perfection of the bail terms, Sowore and the others were released from Kuje Prison on Monday (today).
Sowore’s arrest on Thursday occurred shortly after he left the Federal High Court in Abuja, where he had attended a separate proceeding.
