Peaceful protest in Abuja for Nnamdi Kanu's release met with tear gas, arrests, and crackdown, drawing human rights condemnation.
On October 20, 2025, a peaceful protest in Abuja demanding the release of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the banned IPOB, was met with a heavy security crackdown, including tear gas, roadblocks, and the arrest of eight demonstrators.
The protest, led by activist Omoyele Sowore, defied a court order restricting demonstrations near government sites, prompting police to deploy tear gas and conduct stop-and-search operations, disrupting court activities and major roads.
Authorities denied using live ammunition, while Amnesty International condemned the forceful response, citing arbitrary arrests, beatings, and violations of the right to peaceful assembly.
Human rights advocates criticized the government’s suppression of dissent and the ongoing detention of Kanu, who faces terrorism charges.
