 SOWORE REGAINS FREEDOM, SAYS DETENTION 'ILLEGAL'

Human rights activist and 2023 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore, has been released from police custody.


Sowore had been detained at the Force Headquarters in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory since Wednesday when he honoured an invitation from the Inspector General of Police Monitoring Unit.


The activist confirmed his release in a Facebook post.


He described his detention as “illegal and unjust.”


“The Nigeria Police Force has capitulated to the demands of the revolutionary movement. I have been released from unjust, illegal and unwarranted detention.


“However, it is nothing to celebrate, but thank you for not giving up!” he wrote.


His release comes hours after his supporters had staged protests in about five different states on Friday.
