Former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has unveiled the date for the protest march to the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

Sowore revealed that the protest march to the Presidential Villa to demand the release of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, will hold on October 20, 2025.

Kanu has been detained since he was rearrested in Kenya and repatriated to Nigeria in 2021 to face trial.

Despite the court discharging and acquitting him, the Nigerian government has refused to grant Kanu freedom.

Currently, the IPOB leader had raised concerns over his deteriorating health in the custody of the Department of State Services, DSS.

In an X post on Friday, Sowore wrote: “October 20, 2025! This is the day Nigerians rise with one voice to demand justice and freedom.

“If you can’t attend, send someone who can. We march to the Aso Rock Villa for #FreeNnamdiKanuNow.”
