The leader of Indigenous People Of Biafra IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu has called on the Nigerian government to release Omoyele Sowore immediately and to cease its persecution of journalists who report the truth.
Nnamdi Kanu wrote extensively on a tweet it reads-
Omoyele Sowore, a #Nigerian-born journalist and resident of Bergen County, #NewJersey is currently being held in a Nigerian prison after being arrested and charged with organizing a protest, insulting President Buhari, and transferring U.S. money to a Nigerian account.
@RFKHumanRights called charges “baseless” and stated that his “arbitrary arrest and continued detention violate multiple provisions of #Nigeria’s constitution as well as its international human rights obligations.”
