Rights activist, Omoleye Sowore, has continued to garner support for his planned nationwide protest to put pressure on the Nigerian authorities to release the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
Therefore, several groups and individuals have signified their commitment to identify with the cause. The latest being the Igbo Women Assembly (IWA) and the Coalition of South East Youth Leaders(COSEYL).
In separate statements declaring their support for Sowore, both groups said that they would mobilise their members and non-members to join in the protest slated to hold on October 20, 2025.
