Human rights activist and #FreeNnamdiKanuNow campaigner, Omoyele Sowore, was re-arrested by the Nigerian Police shortly after his appearance at the Kuje Magistrate Court on Friday.
Sowore, alongside Nnamdi Kanu’s brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, a former member of Kanu’s legal team, Aloy Ejimakor and ten others, had earlier met their bail conditions.
The court, presided over by Magistrate Abubakar Umar Sai’id, granted them bail in the sum of ₦500,000 each, with two sureties residing in the Federal Capital Territory, possessing valid identification, and a three-year tax clearance.
The defendants were also directed to submit their international passports.
The ruling followed their arraignment on charges of unlawful assembly and disturbance of public peace, after they were arrested during Thursday’s protest demanding the release of detained IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
Despite meeting the bail conditions, only Sowore was reportedly picked up again and whisked away by police officers to Kuje Prison shortly after the proceedings.
He is expected to be arraigned on Monday, October 27
