The activist threatened that the ‘entire crew’ would be moblised to the FCT command if Ejimakor and others in detention are not released.
Human rights activist and publisher, Omoyele Sowore has asked for the immediate release of Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, counsel to the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
Ejimakor and others were arrested by the police during the #FreeNnamdiKanuProtest in Abuja.
Sowore threatened to occupy FCT Abuja police command if Ejimakor and others are not released.
Ejimakor, along with Fineboy Kanu — a relative of the IPOB leader — and several others, was reportedly apprehended by officers of the Federal Capital Territory Police Command during the protest on Monday.
Reacting to the arrests, Sowore took to his official X (formerly Twitter) account on Monday to condemn the action and warn the police against what he described as an “illegal detention.”
The activist threatened that the ‘entire crew’ would be moblised to the FCT command if Ejimakor and others in detention are not released.
He wrote: “The @FCT_PoliceNG is instructed to release Barrister @AloyEjimakor, Fineboy Kanu, and others illegally arrested, tortured, and currently being forced into detention over #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest immediately, or we will mobilize the entire crew now on the street to the FCT command and occupy their office!”
A video has also surfaced showing Sowore visiting Ejimakor and others at the police command.
