Sowore kicks at arrest of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu, demands immediate release

Convener of Revolution Now, Omoyele Sowore, has called for the release of Biafra agitator, Nnamdi Kanu.

Sowore, in a Facebook post, asserted that Kanu had done nothing to cause his arrest.

“FreeKanu now! Asking for self determination is not a crime!”, he wrote.

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).

This followed his arraignment on Tuesday before Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court, Abuja.

The judge adjourned until July 26 for continuation of trial.

Kanu, who faces treason charges, was arrested abroad and flown back to Nigeria.

The secessionist jumped the bail he was granted in 2017 and had remained elusive.
