Police Brutalise, Arrest Nnamdi Kanu’s Lawyer, Brother At #FreeNnamdiKanuNow Protest In Abuja

The Nigerian Police have arrested Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, and his brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, over the ongoing #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest in Abuja.

Confirming the development, human rights activist and convener of the Take It Back movement, Omoyele Sowore, demanded their immediate release by the Nigerian police authorities.

"The PoliceNG team deployed to brutalize #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protesters arrested Nnamdi Kanu's brother, and his lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, as well as innocent bystanders," he posted on his social media handles Monday.

"They were beaten and taken to the FCT command. The police must release them immediately.”

“We’ve just been arrested. Myself, Prince Emanuel and others. We are at FCT COMMAND CID. Myself, Fine Boy and others. No 1 Zaria Steeet, Gariki 2, Abuja,” Ejimakor also posted on Monday morning.

One of Kanu’s brothers, Kanunta Kanu, also confirmed the arrest in post, saying, “Breaking news. FCT police COMMAND CID Abuja, No 1 Zaria Steeet, Gariki Area 2, illegally arrested Barrister Aloy Ejimako and Prince Emmanuel Kanu, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s Special counsel and youngest brother and others. They should be released immediately because, it is their right to protest.”

Earlier, SaharaReporters reported that security operatives on Monday fired tear gas canisters Sowore, several clergymen, and their supporters during a protest at the Transcorp Hilton area of Abuja.

The protesters, who had gathered to demand the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, were dispersed by heavily armed police officers deployed around the hotel and adjoining streets.

Among the demonstrators were pastors and members of civil society organisations who were chanting solidarity songs before security agents moved in, firing multiple rounds of tear gas to disperse them.

Operatives of the Nigeria Police Force had earlier fired tear gas in the Maitama area of Abuja, dispersing passersby and commuters amid heightened tension ahead of the planned #ReleaseNnamdiKanuNow protest.

The demonstration, championed by human rights activist Sowore and several pro-democracy groups, was billed to hold today, October 20, 2025, with protesters vowing to march to the Presidential Villa to demand the immediate release of the detained IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

However, even before protesters arrived at the designated convergence points, police officers deployed to Maitama and the Central Area fired multiple tear gas canisters, throwing residents and workers into panic. Witnesses said many people who were simply on their way to work were caught in the chaos and scampered for safety.

“There were no protesters yet; people were just moving around as usual when suddenly the police started firing tear gas,” a witness told SaharaReporters.

“Everyone started running, even roadside traders and taxi drivers.”

Security forces, including soldiers and operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS), have since taken over strategic parts of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), including the Three Arms Zone, Eagle Square, Federal Secretariat, Unity Fountain, and adjoining routes leading to Aso Rock.

The lockdown follows warnings issued by the Nigeria Police Force on Sunday, cautioning organisers to “stay clear of restricted areas” and maintain peace. Despite the threats, organisers have vowed to proceed, accusing President Bola Tinubu’s government of gross contempt of court and disregard for the rule of law.

The whole Eastern Nigeria is TOTALLY LOCKED down as we speak.
Willingly, people have decided to show support to the whole protests against an endemically oppressive regime that thrives in her tyrannical habits.
The statement is loud and clear; if anything happens to Kanu, we know those to hold responsible for that..

We pray that the kind of people that tried to save Nigeria October 1st, do it again.
This time may they succeed.


Because this is not the democracy practiced in a sane and civilized place worldwide.
This is Facism disguising as democracy.


@Ditari of Ijaw.

Kudos to the Nigeria police. The arrested people should lock along side Kanu the terrorist.

I remember years ago when I and other patriots were telling Kanu and his followers about the danger of what is bringing upon himself, many called us many names saying the British Soldiers, American army will come and rescue him because he is this, because he is that but today now, the people that hailed him into detention are enjoying their own freedom while Kanu is being held by the government.

Good job , Nigeria police.
You can go to US to protest for terrorists in Guantanamo bay or go to Isreal and protest for Hamas. But in Nigeria, no way. Una must collect.

@Ditari of Ijaw.

See dem hypocrites above

Governments around the world don't like being seen to succumb to this kind of pressure.

The time to plead for Mr Kanu's release is after the completion of his court case assuming the outcome is against him.

Let the case conclude first. The court may even decide he was not guilty of any of the charges and discharge him.

He who runs from a fight runs to live another day- Yele Sowore 2025 🤣😂

Our igbo brothers should have said no to this protest,

madridguy:
Kudos to the Nigeria police. The arrested people should lock along side Kanu the terrorist.

The lawyer is not serious at all.
The court says open defence for your client but instead you went on the street in protest.
Is that a serious lawyer?
