There is traffic congestion on major roads in Nigeria’s capital city as a result of the #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest.
Human rights activist and politician, Omoyele Sowore, had led some persons to the streets to protest the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
