The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress in the 2023 election, Omoyele Sowore, has been released minutes after his arrest.
Recall Sowore was arrested on Sunday morning at Murtala Muhammad International Airport in Ikeja, Lagos State.
He wrote: “I had just arrived in Nigeria from the USA at MMIA in Lagos; upon reaching Nigerian Immigration, my passport was seized, and they told me they had orders to detain me.
However, in a post via his official X handle, Sowore disclosed that he had been released by the Nigerian Immigration Service and his international passport had been released to him after it was confiscated.
He wrote: “I have just been released by the Nigerian Immigration after a brief detention and my passport released back to me.”
