Omoyele Sowore, the publisher of Sahara Reporters and convener of #RevolutionNow, was on Monday arrested by security operatives during the resumed trial of Nnamdi Kanu and thereafter released.

BIGPENNGR understands that Sowore who was sighted earlier in the day around the court premises where Nnamdi Kanu was to be arraigned, was whisked away by security agents amidst commotion by IPOB members.

The journalist turned activist was apparently in court to attend the scheduled court session on the fundamental rights abuse case involving five activists arrested at Dunamis Church, Abuja.

Justice Obiora Egwuatu had directed the Department of State Security Services (DSS), to produce in court Monday, the five persons arrested for wearing the ‘Buhari Must Go’ t-shirts to the church recently.

It is was not clear  whether the matter held as scheduled following the commotion over the scheduled trial of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.

“Sowore was, however, accosted as he continued to livestream activities around the court vicinity. His phone was also seized from him before he was finally taken away”, according to report in The Union Nigeria.

“The camera belonging to Brock Media was equally snatched from the journalist, Yusuf Rock, while he narrowly escaped arrest”, the report also said.
