<p>The arrest of human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has been condemned by Amnesty International, the action which it described as yet another attempt by Nigerian authorities to silence dissenting voices.</p>
<p>The organisation, in a statement released on Thursday, said Sowore’s arrest occurred barely days after the detention of Nnamdi Kanu&#8217;s lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, and his brother, Emmanuel Kanu, whom were both involved in a peaceful protest on Monday, 20th of October, 2025, with the activist as the convener.</p>
<p>&#8220;Once again, Nigerian authorities have displayed utter disregard for human rights and a longstanding demonization of peaceful assembly,” the statement read.</p>

<p>&#8220;President Bola Tinubu government’s utter disdain for the rule of law must end,” Amnesty International declared, adding that the continued persecution of individuals for expressing dissent undermines democracy.</p>
<p>It further urged the government to desist from “using the security agents and judiciary as a tool for persecuting people who voice dissenting opinions, challenge abuse and call for accountability.”</p>
<p>The organisation reaffirmed its commitment to continually monitor the situation and hold Nigerian authorities accountable for violations of human rights and freedom of expression.</p>
<p>Notwithstanding, the Police Force stated that their reason for arresting the activist, Sowore, and others mentioned is because of the violation of the court order mandating them not to proceed with the protest.</p>
<p>Nigerian Tracker News had earlier reported that the activist and the publisher of Sahara Reporters was arrested moment after he met with the embattled IPOB Leader, Nnamdi Kanu, at the federal high court in Abuja, on Thursday, 23rd of October, 2025.</p>
