Human rights activist and the 2023 Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (ACC), Omoyele Sowore has called on Nigerians to join a nationwide protest demanding the release of detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
Sowore, who spoke via his verified X handle on Monday, urged citizens to take to the streets in peaceful protest despite a court order restricting demonstrations around key government areas in Abuja.
“Good morning, wherever you may be this morning, do not stop moving. Carry a sign, sing a song, make a statement!” he wrote.
New Telegraph had earlier reported that on Sunday, Sowore shared a statement welcoming participants to the protest tagged#FreeNnamdiKanuNow.

He also shared a Facebook post that read, “We want to put one million people on the streets of Abuja tomorrow for #FreeNnamdiKanuNow — let’s make it happen.”
