Human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore and Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor have been released on bail from Kuje Prison after days in detention.

Announcing his release on Monday via X, Sowore wrote: “Happening Now: Leaving Kuje Prison in Abuja after being detained there illegally for four days. #FreeNnamdiKanuNow.”

He was detained last week following his appearance at the Kuje Magistrate Court.

On Friday, a Magistrate Court sitting in Kuje, Abuja, granted bail to the human rights activist, alongside Ejimakor, Prince Emmanuel Kanu (Nnamdi Kanu’s brother), and ten others arrested during the FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest in the Federal Capital Territory.

The court, presided over by Magistrate Abubakar Umar Sai’id, issued the bail order after the defendants were arraigned on charges of unlawful assembly and disturbance of public peace.

Each was granted ₦500,000 bail, with two sureties residing in the FCT, valid identification, a three-year tax clearance, and submission of their passports.

Speaking after his release, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer, Alloy Ejimakor, said of his experience: “The experience was traumatic for me, for my colleagues, for everybody.”

On Police brutality and use of tear gas on the protesters, Ejimakor said: “In fact, if we didn’t have strong lungs, some of us would have given up the ghost on the spot. I don’t think that type of brutality has a place in a well-ordered modern society.”
