A Magistrate Court sitting in the Kuje area of Abuja has granted bail to human rights activist and politician, Omoyele Sowore, alongside several protesters arrested during the #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest in the Federal Capital Territory.
The court also granted bail to Aloy Ejimakor, counsel for the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu; his brother, Emmanuel Kanu; and 11 others.
Mgistrate Abubakar Umar granted the defendants bail on Friday, October 24, 2025, following their arraignment on charges bordering on unlawful assembly and disturbance of public peace.
