The Nigerian Police have arrested Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, and his brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, over the ongoing #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest in Abuja.
Confirming the development, human rights activist and convener of the Take It Back movement, Omoyele Sowore, demanded their immediate release by the Nigerian police authorities.
"The PoliceNG team deployed to brutalize #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protesters arrested Nnamdi Kanu's brother, and his lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, as well as innocent bystanders," he posted on his social media handles on Monday.
"They were beaten and taken to the FCT command. The police must release them immediately.”
"We’ve just been arrested. Myself, Prince Emanuel and others. We are at FCT COMMAND CID. Myself, Fine Boy and others. No 1 Zaria Steeet, Gariki 2, Abuja,” Ejimakor also posted on Monday morning.
One of Kanu’s brothers, Kanunta Kanu, also confirmed the arrest in post, saying, “Breaking news. FCT police COMMAND CID Abuja, No 1 Zaria Steeet, Gariki Area 2, illegally arrested Barrister Aloy Ejimako and Prince Emmanuel Kanu, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s Special counsel and youngest brother and others. They should be released immediately because, it is their right to protest.”
Earlier, Impact-General Media reported that security operatives on Monday fired tear gas canisters on Sowore, several clergymen, and their supporters during a protest at the Transcorp Hilton area of Abuja.
The protesters, who had gathered to demand the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, were dispersed by heavily armed police officers deployed around the hotel and adjoining streets.
