Reports emerging from Abuja indicate that Omoyele Sowore, the human rights activist and Sahara Reporters publisher, narrowly escaped arrest during a heated protest calling for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
According to eyewitness accounts, security operatives reportedly apprehended Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer, sparking outrage among protesters who have vowed to continue demonstrations despite the clampdown.
The incident comes amid reports that the entire Eastern region of Nigeria has been effectively locked down, with residents voluntarily staying off the streets in solidarity with the Free Nnamdi Kanu movement.
Many observers describe the mass action as a powerful statement against perceived oppression and tyranny, emphasizing that the protests reflect growing frustration with what some have called an “endemically oppressive regime.”
Activists warn that any harm to Kanu could trigger wider unrest, insisting that those in power will be held accountable.
Authorities have yet to issue an official statement on the reported arrests or the ongoing demonstrations.
