An Abuja Chief Magistrate Court sitting in Kuje has remanded Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, and his younger brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, in prison custody.
The duo, alongside 10 others, were arrested during the #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest in Abuja on Monday.
In its First Information Report (FIR), the police alleged that the defendants breached a subsisting court order by staging the protest, chanting war songs and obstructing traffic in the Federal Capital Territory.
According to the charge, they engaged in criminal conspiracy, incitement, and disturbance of public peace, offences punishable under sections 152, 114 and 113 of the Penal Code.
The FIR listed those remanded as:
Barrister Aloy Ejimakor
Prince Emmanuel Kanu
Joshua Emmanuel
Bishop Wilson Anyalewechi
Barrister Okere Kingdom Nnamdi
Clinton Chimeneze
Gabriel Joshua
Isiaka Husseini
Onyekachi Ferdinand
Amadi Prince
Edison Ojisom
Godwill Obiama
The document read in part: “On the 20th day of October 2025, you were arrested by a team of security agents in different locations within the FCT while involving yourselves in inciting disturbance and breach of public peace in disobedience to a court order. You denied other citizens freedom of movement, disrupted the free flow of traffic while chanting war songs, and requesting for the release of Nnamdi Kanu who is undergoing lawful trial at the Federal High Court in a manner that threatens national security.”
Ejimakor and Emmanuel Kanu’s arrest came during a protest convened by activist Omoyele Sowore to demand the release of the detained IPOB leader.
