I've known Omoyele for many years and I've always admired and supported him. But I can boldly say it now that the dumbest thing he's ever done in this journey of activism is to stage a protest for Kanu's freedom. WTF? 🤥
It's just a protest, not banditry or terrorism. Why do you think having a peaceful protest is dumb?

Daily Trust reports that the Human rights activist, who was arrested at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday, led the #FreeNnamdiKanuProtest.

He had fled when the police arrested other protesters.

Fielding questions from journalist, the Force spokesman, Benjamin Hundeyin, a Chief Superintendent of Police, who confirmed his arrest, said he was nabbed for violating a court order barring the #FreeNnamdiKanu protest.

Hundeyin stated that those arrested earlier disclosed that it was the former presidential candidate that led them to the protest ground.

The force spokesman said Sowore would be arraigned in court immediately.

“He was arrested in contravention of a court order. So, if we move from fair to charge some people to court, and leave the person that led them to commit that more like their leader, the elite protester who told them and took them into the restricted area.

And that’s why in the spirit of fair play and to ensure that justice is served, Omoyele Showere was arrested today. And like the others too, he wouldn’t spend time with us, he wouldn’t spend up to 24 hours with us.

“Once, we wrap up the charges, he’s going to be prosecuted. In fact, if everything goes right, our plan is to ensure that he’s prosecuted today. He goes to court today. That would be the latest on the Nnamdi Kanu protest.”

May be Elzakaski ,,yes. But you see that Kanu? Just thank God this is not a military regime. He would have been long forgotten.
- The same military regime would have also made sure that you and your immediate family members are long gone and forgotten.

The court has been totally bastardized

So is the court saying they already convicted Nnamdi kanu even without the conclusion of his case??

So all the naunsense wey dem dey teach for school that you're not guilty until a competent court of law declares you so

So in that case can't Nigerians protest anymore?

Na them call am elite protester? He should be called "paid" protester instead because baba always getting paid from international donors.

This arrest is in Sowore favor because people don dey talk say he purposely delivered Kanu brother and lawyer to the police. Now they can all cool off in Kuje till tomorrow.
You reason with your anus. No wonder they said Nigerian’s and Nigeria cannot be redeemed. I believe now.

Re: Police: Why We Arrested ‘Elite Protester’ Sowore by Excelhigher: 5:40pm On Oct 23, 2025
It seems after thought because this same man sowore visited your quarter a day after the protest when he learnt that Kanu's brother and lawyer was arrested. So why don't you arrest him then?

Police has no right to arrest him that day he visited because he was not protesting that day the court order earlier served covered. Police did good job by applying wisdom and professionalism and did right things at the right time. To rearrest Sowore, they needed to be sure he is implicated by those people that were earlier arrested. And to do that police waited to get information from them to implicate Sowore by themselves or judge can also ask for Sowore to be arrested, that he has something to answer. Since he wasn't arrested along with those earlier arrested at the scene of location that was prohibited by the court for that day of protest because he ran away, that same order couldn't get him arrested for the following day of visit unless police gathered useful information that lead to implicating Sowore to get rearrested.

Now, their arrest are legal and nobody will go and protest against police for the arrest of Sowore and others. Police can now hide under this to deal with Sowore serious by playing with him and biting him. All the anger police piled up against him but we're being cautious because of masses can now be executed on him if law should find him guilty and the lawyer, KANU brother and other earlier arrested can share from this indirect subtle anger of police against Sowore.

By the time they leave police custody, there brain must have been reconstructed. We warned them, but they won't listen. It is their choice to trade away their freedom. Now, they are closer to KANU. Can some ipob/ESN members and supporters tell us how many days now that KANU brother and lawyer had been packed together like Sandrine in one cell with other offenders? Maybe they never changed their cloths since the arrest. Maybe they slept on top of one another or scheduled their short sleeping.

Their children are at homes asking for where is daddy, where is daddy not knowing inability of their daddy to get wisdom and run away from trouble when they see one had lead them to put themselves into prison. Ipob/ESN that thinks upside down before will show Sowore shege in the detention by keep shifting blame upon blame on him, and he Sowore will look at himself and find out he had been helping animals without their senses.

When next we warn you, you better listen. It is never done anywhere in a saner society protesting for a terrorist founder that even his lawyers could not defend, but only giving him helping hands to prolong his case till political settlement or Obi becoming president comes his way. But unfortunately, the DSS and the judge are smarter than his lawyers and KANU. The lawyers don't want to tarnish their images because they his case is not defendable. They must have discussed this to him in the secret on how far they will help him push the case to lengthen it.

Now,KANU has gotten to the end of the road. The judge will not use centimeter ruler to measure his years of sentence. Learn from him. He said nobody should beg for him ignorantly, but now his lawyer is even going to jail with him or add prisioner tag record to his academic title.

Oga shut up. I am a law enforcement officer. Yesterday people criticized the police for their unprofessional conduct by arresting the followers while the head is walking freely in and out of the police building...shamefully they had to arrest him. Before the protest, he paraded himself as the organizer, he even visited TV stations were he rolled out the plans for the day. On the day of the protest, he was seen leading the protest in Abuja. He even posted a video of him running while the police tried to arrest them. And here you are opening your big mouth to tell me the police needed information from those arrested before they can arrest him ? Politics has taken over your sense of reasoning. Rubbish.

Why does the law only matter when it favors the govt?

Do you know how many court injunctions have granted MNK bail and yet has remained in detention?

That's what this belated arrest is all about. Sowore said openly that he has more privileges as a Yoruba man in Nigeria than an Igbo person and there are many things he can do as a Yoruba and go free without consequences which an Igbo man cannot do and he went ahead to prove it by organising a protest and only Igbos with him were arrested and sent to Kuje prison 😁

Police is trying to save face after proving him right about the extent of bigotry and tribalism in Nigeria

If your brothers are killing, do, doing ritual and carrying cocaine to a place like Malaysia ..

Getting paid to Protest for a course that will benefit the people largely is laudable, commendable

Do you know how many times Sowore had slept prison .. he could have being another Reno n still be cashing

if its all about money .. If Sowore submit to work for Wike naa still cashout so why choose money wey carry prison
Re: Police: Why We Arrested ‘Elite Protester’ Sowore by bentenny(m): 7:59pm On Oct 23, 2025
So you arrested participants of the protest and left out the originator of the protest sowore!
Sowore even went to the prison to see nnamdi kanu's brother and lawyer and yet he was still not arrested😂😂
When sensible people started trying to unmasked the script being played,police then decided to 'arrest' sowore!
The script between the police and sowore don cast!😄😄

Someone should tell Hundeyin and Nigeria Police Force filled with empty heads that you don't arrest someone for disobeying Court order without going through the Court. It is the Court that should direct the police to arrest someone disobeying its order, not the other way round.
