Activist Omoyele Sowore on Thursday met with Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), at the Abuja Federal High Court, a development Sowore shared in a video posted on X.
In the video, Kanu is seen greeting and hugging Sowore warmly.
Accompanying the post, Sowore wrote, “Finally, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and I met at the Federal High Court today. The man is powerful and unrelenting. We greeted and hugged and the bond is strong! #FreeNnamdiKanuNow.”
Earlier on Monday, Sowore had led Kanu’s lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, and his brother, Prince Emmanuel, to a #FreeNnamdiKanu protest in Abuja.
The demonstration was dispersed by police, who arrested Ejimakor, Prince Emmanuel, and other participants. They were arraigned before a Magistrate Court in Kuje and remanded in Kuje prison.
Meanwhile, Kanu has indicated his intention to defend himself before the Justice James Omotosho-led court on terrorism-related charges, following the withdrawal of his lead counsel, Kanu Agabi, from the trial.
Kanu has been in detention since 2021, after being rearrested in Kenya and subjected to extraordinary rendition back to Nigeria.
