The Police, on Tuesday, arraigned Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor. He was docked alongside Kanu’s brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu and 10 others following the #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest in Abuja on Monday.
A Nigerian Police information report filed before the court accused the suspects of inciting disturbance and breach of public peace in disobedience to a court order. It was titled: “Criminal Conspiracy, Disobedience Of Order Duly Promulgated By Public Servant, Inciting Disturbance And Disturbance Of Public Peace Contrary To Sections 152, 114, And 113 Of Penal Code Law.”
“That on 20th day of October 2025, you (1). Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, (2). Prince Emmnauel Kanu, (3). Joshua Emmanuel, (4). Bishop Wilson Anyalewechi, (5). Barrister Okere Kingdom Nnamdi, (6). Clinton Chimeneze, (7). Gabriel Joshua, (8). Isiaka Husseini, (9). Onyekachi Ferdinand. (10). Amadi Prince, (11). Edison Ojisom, and (12). Godwill Obiama, all male adults of FCT Abuja were arrested by a team of security agents in different locations within FCT while involving yourselves in inciting disturbance, and breach of public Peace in disobedience to a court Order, denying other citizens the freedom of movement, disrupting 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.
“You thereby committed the above-mentioned offences,” the charge read. The court document was shared by former National Chairman of the Human Rights Commission of Nigeria, HRCN, Prof Chidi Odinkalu, via X on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Benjamin Hundeyin, Force Public Relations Officer, while fielding questions on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Monday, had hinted that Ejimakor and Kanu’s brother, alongside others, would be charged on Tuesday.
He said: “We arrested Nnamdi Kanu’s brother, his lawyer because they insisted on making way to the restricted areas. And not just two of them, six others were also arrested around TRANSCORP, and for this same reason. So we arrested a total of eight of them.
“They are currently at the state CID, and once we conclude our investigation, just like we said in our statement, that anybody who violated that court order would be arrested, diligently investigated and prosecuted.
“So, once we conclude that, which we should tonight, then they’ll be prosecuted immediately, in less than 24 hours, they will be facing the court.”
