Human rights activist and #FreeNnamdiKanuNow campaigner, Omoyele Sowore, has been re-arrested by the Nigerian Police shortly after his court appearance at the Kuje Magistrate Court on Friday.
Sowore, alongside Prince Emmanuel Kanu—brother to the detained IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu—a former member of Kanu’s legal team, and ten others, had earlier met their bail conditions.
The court had granted them bail for N500,000 each, with two sureties residing within the Federal Capital Territory and possessing valid identification and three years of tax clearance.
Despite fulfilling the bail requirements, Sowore was reportedly singled out, arrested, and taken away by police officers to Kuje Prison shortly after the court proceedings.
He is expected to be arraigned on Monday, October 27, on a fresh charge linked to his statement alleging that President Bola Tinubu is a criminal.
