Publisher of SaharaReporters, Omoyele Sowore, has been granted temporary reprieve by a Kuje, Abuja Magistrate’s Court.
The court, on Friday, granted bail to the activist and 12 others , including Aloy Ejimakor, a member of the legal team representing the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu; the IPOB leader’s brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu; and ten others, in the sum of ₦500,000, with two sureties in like sum.
The 13 defendants were arrested in Abuja on Monday, October 20, 2025, during a #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest organized by Sowore. They were subsequently arraigned before the court for inciting public disturbance and breach of peace.
While Ejimakor, Emmanuel and the other ten defendants were arrested during the protest and later remanded at the Kuje Correctional facility, Sowore was apprehended on October 23 at the premises of the Federal High Court in Abuja after attending Kanu’s terrorism trial to show solidarity.
