Nigerian Police Re-Arrest Activist Sowore After Bail Amid Controversy
Nigerian police re-arrested activist Sowore outside Kuje Court in Abuja just after he was granted bail. The incident led to accusations of police brutality and unlawful behavior, with eyewitnesses claiming Sowore was dragged, punched, and taken away.
Sowore's legal team requested to see the remand order, which the police allegedly refused to present, insisting on transferring him to another location. The bail conditions included a payment of 500,000 Naira, verification of identity, tax clearance, and an international passport.
The arrest occurred in the context of Sowore's involvement in recent protests and his defense against charges of unlawful assembly and disturbing public peace.
