Just in: Police re-arrest Sowore on fresh charges after meeting bail conditions

Police operatives on Friday re-arrested human rights activist and #FreeNnamdiKanuNow campaigner, Omoyele Sowore, shortly after he appeared before the Kuje Magistrate Court in Abuja.

Sowore, alongside Prince Emmanuel Kanu — brother of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu — former member of Kanu’s legal team, Aloy Ejimakor, and 10 others, had earlier been granted bail after meeting all the conditions set by the court.

The court had approved bail of ₦500,000 each, with two sureties residing within the Federal Capital Territory, each required to present valid identification and proof of three years of tax clearance.

Despite meeting these requirements, Sowore was reportedly arrested again by police officers immediately after the court session and taken back to the Kuje Correctional Centre.

He is expected to be arraigned on Monday, October 27, on fresh charges allegedly linked to his recent statement describing President Bola Tinubu as a criminal.
