The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has arrested human rights activist and the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) in the 2023 election, Omoyele Sowore.
Sowore was reportedly arrested on Thursday by armed policemen within the premises of the Federal High Court in Abuja, shortly after showing solidarity with the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
Confirming the arrest to journalists, the Force Public Relations Officer Benjamin Hundeyin, said the activist is currently in police custody and will be charged to court today.
