ABUJA – Human rights activist and 2023 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has been released from police custody two days after his arrest at the Force Headquarters in Abuja.
Sowore was detained on Wednesday after honouring an invitation from the Inspector General of Police’s Monitoring Unit. His release was confirmed on Friday evening through a post on his official Facebook page.
Describing his detention as “illegal and unjust,” the activist wrote:
“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!”
His release came just hours after his supporters staged protests in at least five states, demanding his freedom.
