Appeal Court ordered Nnamdi Kanu’s release in 2022 – Sowore

Human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, has disclosed that the Court if Appeal in 2022 asked that the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, be released.

Sowore made this revelation on Monday while responding to questions in an interview on ‘Prime Time’, a programme on Arise Television monitored by DAILY POST.

He was reacting to the protest carried out on Monday in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, demanding the release of Nnamdi Kanu.

DAILY POST reports that Sowore is the main organiser of the Free Nnamdi Kanu protest.

“We were attacked by the Nigeria police. So, I haven’t done anything wrong in this protest and we also ended up in the FCT police command.

“Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, his brother and eleven others were arrested by the Nigeria police,” he said.

Speaking on court judgments, Sowore said, “The Court of Appeal in 2022 asked that Nnamdi Kanu be released.

“That judgement ought to have taken effect immediately it was given but the Nigerian government did not honour it.”
