An Abuja magistrate court has ordered the remand of Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, and 12 others who were arrested during a protest led by activist Omoyele Sowore on Monday against the continued detention and trial of the IPOB leader.
The police charged the 13 defendants with multiple offences, including criminal conspiracy, disobedience to a lawful order, inciting disturbance, and disturbance of public peace, contrary to Sections 152, 114, and 113 of the Penal Code.
Those named in the charge include Ejimakor and Emmanuel Kanu, the younger brother of the detained IPOB leader.
The magistrate ordered that all 13 defendants be remanded at the Kuje Correctional Centre pending their formal arraignment on October 24.
