Free Nnamdi Kanu protest: Why we arrested Sowore – Police

Published

The Nigeria Police Force on Thursday explained why activist politician, Omoyele Sowore was arrested.

Force Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, said Sowore’s arrest was to ensure fairness in the prosecution of those involved in Monday’s #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest in Abuja.

Hundeyin disclosed this while addressing journalists in Abuja.

“If we move from there to charge some people to court and leave the person who led them to commit that act, more like their leader, the elite protester who told them and took them into the restricted area, that would not be fair.

“And that’s why, in the spirit of fair play and to ensure that justice is served, Omoyele Sowore was arrested today,” the police spokesman said.

He assured that Sowore will not be detained beyond the legally stipulated period, adding that he would be arraigned.

“Like the others, 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,” he added.
