Court Stops Others and Sowore from Holding October 20 #FreeNnamdiKanu Protest in Abuja

 



Court Stops Sowore, Others from Holding October 20 #FreeNnamdiKanu Protest in Abuja
A Federal High Court in Abuja has granted an interim injunction restraining activist Omoyele Sowore, the Take It Back Movement, the #RevolutionNow group, and others from organising or participating in the planned October 20 protest demanding the release of the detained Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

The order, issued by Justice M.G. Umar, followed an ex parte application filed by the Federal Government through the Nigeria Police Force, which argued that the planned demonstration could threaten public peace and national security within the Federal Capital Territory. The court specifically barred the respondents from staging or promoting any protest around the Aso Rock Villa, National Assembly, and Unity Fountain in Abuja.

Sowore, however, alleged that the order was granted “in chambers” after the same request had earlier been declined in open court. “After initially rejecting the motion to stop our protest in open court, the judge reportedly granted it in chambers,” he wrote on his social media page, calling the move an attempt to silence dissent.

The #FreeNnamdiKanu protest, scheduled for Monday, October 20, had gained traction online and received endorsement from several political figures, including a former Vice President and a former Senate President. Organisers had vowed to march to the Presidential Villa to demand Kanu’s release from the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).

Kanu, who has been detained since June 2021 on charges bordering on terrorism and treasonable felony, has continued to attract widespread calls for release amid a lengthy legal battle.
Meanwhile, the United States Embassy in Abuja has issued a security alert to its citizens ahead of the planned demonstration, warning of potential v+olence and traffic disruptions in the Central Business District, Eagle Square, and surrounding areas. The embassy advised its nationals to avoid protest zones, limit movement, and maintain a low profile throughout Monday.

MONEY IS INDEED THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL, VDM REPLIES PHYNA

Image
  VDM REPLIES PHYNA: Money is indeed the root of all evil. Immediately I saw the list of the things Phyna wanted from Dangote, I smiled.  N1billion was at the top, scholarship for her sister's kids, her sister flown abroad amongst others, I just shook my head. If I had made it to the meeting, we will not speak about money.  We would request that her sister be flown abroad first, then scholarship and Dangote should place Ruth on Salary for life. She probably didn't like my body language when she showed me the list and when I asked that the bikeman should be added.  What secret is there about your family matter that has been on blogs since last week? Is your sister having two kids something to hide in a case like this? Should that be a secret to the public? Why didn't you tell the public you demanded for N1billion from Dangote. You only came back to cry to the public when things didn't go your way
