The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has demanded the immediate and unconditional release of former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore, who was reportedly detained on Thursday.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the group described the detention of the activist as a blatant violation of the Nigerian Constitution.
SERAP urged the Nigerian Police to put an end to the persecution of Sowore, demanding the peaceful exercise of his human rights.
