The Nigeria police has reportedly re-arrested human rights activist Omoyele Sowore, shortly after he was granted bail by the Kuje Magistrate court on Friday.
Daily Intel gathered that Sowore was arrested as he was perfecting his bail conditions. Eyewitness said police officers led by CSP Ilyasu Barau, in charge of Anti-Vice under the DC-CID, FCT Command dragged Sowore into a waiting vehicle while finalizing his bail conditions.
The activist resisted the arrest, demanding to see a remand order, but officers refused to provide any documentation.
“They really manhandled him,” one eyewitness said. “The IPO punched him, dragged him on the ground, and forced him into the van.”
Magistrate Abubakar Umar Sai’id had earlier granted bail to Sowore, Aloy Ejimakor, lawyer to detained IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu; Kanu’s brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, and 11 others.
The defendants face charges of unlawful assembly and disturbance of public peace.
