My Statement on Today’s Court Proceedings Regarding the #FreeNnamdiKanuNow Protest Earlier today, alongside my legal team led by Marshal D. F. Abubakar, I addressed the progress of our civil lawsuit arising from my illegal arrest, trial, and unlawful detention at Kuje Prison following the #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest of October 20, 2025. This lawsuit seeks a public apology, financial compensation, and enforcement actions against the illegally appointed Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, the Nigeria Police Force, and the Minister of Justice/Attorney General of the Federation for their unlawful actions. At today’s court sitting, the Nigeria Police Force neither appeared nor was represented by counsel. The presiding judge, Justice Umar, formally noted their absence and ruled that the case is ready to proceed to the next stage. At the next adjourned date, we will adopt our written submissions, after which the court will fix a definite date for judgment. We remain firm and committed to demanding justice and accountability for the unlawful treatment of peaceful protesters during that historic protest. #FreeNnamdiKanuNow #JusticeForProtesters #RuleOfLaw #EndPoliceAbuse #HumanRights #Accountability #NigeriaJustice #PeacefulProtest
