Sowore secures freedom for man they say was illegally detained by police

Former presidential candidate and agitator for good governance in Nigeria, Omoyele Sowore has secured freedom for a man that they say was falsely detained by the Police in Abuja.

Sowore who was informed of the man’s plight by one of his compatriots yesterday, stormed the police Headquarters to get the man released.

As commented by the detained man's relatives, he was locked up in custody for 2 weeks with an allegation from a ‘big man’.
