Police Arrest Activist Sowore at Abuja Court Premises

Activist and politician Omoyele Sowore was arrested by armed policemen on Thursday within the premises of the Federal High Court in Abuja. The arrest occurred shortly after he attended a court session in solidarity with the detained IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu. Police officers stated they were acting on the instructions of the Commissioner of Police and took him to the FCT Police Command. The Force Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, later explained that the arrest was linked to a protest Sowore led on Monday. Hundeyin stated that Sowore was arrested as the alleged leader of the protest to ensure "fairness," as others involved had already been charged. He assured that Sowore would be arraigned quickly and not detained beyond the legal limit. Sowore's lawyer condemned the arrest, calling it a mockery of the judicial system.

Presidency Seeks Sanction for Nnamdi Kanu’s Protesting Lawyer

The Presidency has called for sanctions against one of Nnamdi Kanu's lawyers, Aloy Ejimakor, for participating in a protest demanding his client's release. Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Information and Strategy, made the call on social media. He criticized Ejimakor for joining the #FreeNnamdiKanu protest in Abuja, which was organized by activist Omoyele Sowore. Onanuga argued that the lawyer's action is unethical because Kanu's case is still before a court. He stated that the principle of sub judice—which restricts public discussion of ongoing court cases—should prevent a lawyer from engaging in such public demonstrations. He urged the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) and other legal disciplinary bodies to investigate Ejimakor's conduct and impose appropriate sanctions. The Presidency believes the lawyer should focus on building a legal defense instead of protesting.

Heavy Security in Abuja as #FreeNnamdiKanu Protest Looms

A massive security lockdown was imposed in Abuja on Monday due to a planned protest demanding the release of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu. Security forces, including soldiers, police, and DSS operatives, sealed off major routes leading to the Presidential Villa and the city center. This caused significant traffic disruptions for commuters entering the Federal Capital Territory. Key areas like the Three Arms Zone, Eagle Square, and the National Assembly were under heavy guard. The measures were so strict that even staff with official clearance to the Presidential Villa were denied entry and forced to use alternative routes. The protest was organized by activist Omoyele Sowore. Nnamdi Kanu has been in detention since 2021, despite court orders for his release, with his supporters citing concerns over his health.

Police Threaten Action Against Violent Pro-Nnamdi Kanu Protests

The Nigeria Police Force has issued a strong warning against plans for violent protests over the continued detention of IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu. The Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, stated that anyone using protests as a cover to incite violence, vandalize property, or carry weapons will be "decisively dealt with." He warned that offenders will be arrested and prosecuted under relevant laws, including those on public order and terrorism. The police also specifically cautioned protesters to avoid the Aso Rock Presidential Villa and its surroundings. This is in line with a recent court order that bans protests in key government areas, including the National Assembly and Force Headquarters. Hundeyin emphasized that the police are under strict instructions to enforce this court order. He urged those planning to demonstrate to instead channel their grievances through the courts and other […]

 Morocco Student Gets One-Year Jail Term for Protest Role

A Moroccan student has been sentenced to one year in prison for his involvement in the recent youth-led protests, marking the first known jail term linked to the demonstrations. The student was convicted on charges of participating in an unauthorized gathering and insulting judicial police by providing false information. His lawyer has denounced the ruling as "unfair" and plans to appeal. The protests, organized by the anonymous "GenZ 212" collective, began in late September. They were initially sparked by the deaths of eight pregnant women at a hospital but have since expanded to demand broader social and political reforms. Human rights groups report that approximately 550 people are facing prosecution in connection with the protests, with many still in detention.

 Morocco Protests: “We Want Hospitals, Not Stadiums”

A youth-led protest movement is sweeping Morocco, challenging the government's plan to build the world's largest stadium for the 2030 FIFA World Cup. Demonstrators argue the massive investment should be directed toward fixing the country's struggling public services instead. Under slogans like "We want hospitals, not football stadiums," the "Gen Z 212" movement has organized protests in at least 10 cities. The protests were sparked by a tragic incident where eight women died in an ill-equipped maternity ward, highlighting systemic failures in the healthcare system. Protesters are demanding better hospitals, free quality education, affordable housing, and job creation. Police have made over 400 arrests, and three protester deaths have been reported following violent clashes. While many Moroccans are proud to host the World Cup, protesters feel the priorities are wrong. As one 25-year-old demonstrator stated, "We love football... but we […]

110,000 Join Tommy Robinson’s Far-Right Rally in London

More than 110,000 people marched through central London on Saturday in a mass rally organised by far-right activist Tommy Robinson, with police deploying around 1,000 officers to manage tensions between rival demonstrations. The event, branded by Robinson as the UK’s “biggest free speech festival”, began south of Westminster before crossing Westminster Bridge and concluding near Downing Street. Attendees — many waving Union Jacks, St George’s crosses, and Christian symbols — listened to speeches from far-right figures across Europe and North America. “The silent majority will be silent no longer,” Robinson declared, calling the rally the spark of a “cultural revolution.” Police used CCTV and helicopter footage to estimate turnout at around 110,000, while roughly 5,000 people joined a counter-protest organised by Stand Up to Racism a mile away. Veteran Labour MP Diane Abbott addressed the counter-rally, accusing Robinson of spreading […]

UNILAG Students Protest Hike in Private Hostel Fees

Students of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) are protesting a sharp rise in accommodation costs at private hostels located on the Akoka campus. Several hostel operators reportedly increased their rents by nearly 40 percent ahead of the new academic session. For instance, a one-bedroom self-contained unit that previously cost ₦500,000 is now being rented for over ₦700,000 per year. Private hostels became popular last year after the federal government-owned official hostels underwent prolonged renovations. During that period, the university temporarily adopted online learning, with students returning in batches only to write their examinations. When contacted for clarification on the situation, UNILAG’s Head of Communication Unit, Alhaja Adejoke Alaga Ibraheem, declined to give an official response, directing all enquiries to the school’s communication unit email. It was further gathered that since the new academic session is yet to begin, the university […]
