For taking part in #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest in Abuja on Monday, the Nigeria Police have arraigned Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, his brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu and 10 others.
A former National Chairman of the Human Rights Commission of Nigeria, HRCN, Prof Chidi Odinkalu, stated this via his X on Tuesday.
Police are accusing them of inciting a disturbance and breach of public peace in disobedience to a court order.
According to the document sighted by DAILY POST, the suspects denied other citizens the freedom of movement, disrupting the free flow of traffic while chanting war songs and requesting the release of Nnamdi Kanu.
Force spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed this, saying Ejimakor and Kanu’s brother, alongside others, would be charged on Tuesday.
Hundeyin said those arrested during the protest would be charged to court after investigation.
According to the Forces spokesperson, “we arrested Nnamdi Kanu’s brother, his lawyer, because they insisted on making way to the restricted areas. And not just two of them, six others were also arrested around TRANSCORP, and for this same reason. So we arrested a total of eight of them.
“They are currently at the state CID, and once we conclude our investigation, just like we said in our statement, that anybody who violated that court order would be arrested, diligently investigated and prosecuted.
“So once we conclude that, which we should tonight, then they’ll be prosecuted immediately, in less than 24 hours, they will be facing the court.”
