Sahara Reporters Publisher, Omoyele Sowore, and others who were arrested during a protest at the Federal High Court, Abuja have been released.

Sowore was picked while running a Facebook Live session at the court premises as the court resumed the trial of the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.

A few hours after their arrest, the ‘Buhari-Must-Go’ activist announced that he had been released alongside others.

He said, “They have just released us. They dragged, harassed, and beat us. They took us to the Federal Secretariat Police Station. I told them that they have no right to arrest me.

“I have a right to observe the trial of Nnamdi Kanu. They took our cards and deleted all recordings.”
