Court Rejects Police Bid to Stop 'Free Nnamdi Kanu Now' Protest in Abuja
The Federal High Court in Abuja ruled against the Nigeria Police Force's request to stop the 'Free Nnamdi Kanu Now' protest organized by activist Omoyele Sowore near Aso Rock Villa. The court rejected the police's motion to immediately halt the protest without hearing Sowore's side, adjourning the case for a proper hearing on Tuesday.
Sowore's protest aims to draw attention to the prolonged detention of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). The decision signals a potential confrontation between protesters and security agencies at the Presidential Villa on October 20.
