News: Nigerians React As Government Arrest And Detained Women In Owerri While Protesting

many Nigerians have demanded the unconditional release of 112 pro-Biafra Imo women who were arrested, detained and remanded in Owerri prison for participating in a peaceful protest to demand the whereabouts of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.

112 pro-Biafra Imo women who were arrested, detained and remanded in Owerri prison for participating in a peaceful protest to demand the whereabouts of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu. The women were remanded in jail till September 3 by Magistrate S.K Durumba for embarking on a peaceful protest. It was also gathered that one of the women (a pregnant woman) who broke down in the court as a result of the alleged beaten earlier received from the police during the peaceful protest was said to have bled profusely before she was rushed to an undisclosed hospital. However, following their continued remand, the concerned Nigerians who condemned their incarceration called for their unconditional release. The Nigerians took to the micro-blogging site, twitter to call for the women’s release. Below are their tweets:

Only a coward arrests and detains harmless, innocent women exercising their fundamental human right to freedom of Association. We went back to 1983 in 2015. This is what you get for voting in a relic.#FreeOwerri112 pic.twitter.com/PnSwmmTUj1

Look at what your government is doing to women because they are protesting and asking questions. A constitutional right.#FreeOwerri112

The number of times we have had to trend hashtags demanding for the freedom of 1 person or group of persons over the course of the last 3 years is shocking. And it doesn't appear like it will stop any time soon.

Unless we do the needful in 2019#FreeOwerri112

Buhari Govt butchered over 500 Shites that were fellow Northerners...detaining 112 Igbo women for protesting Nnamdi Kanu's whereabouts is no big deal.

The real curse is on those Nigerians, Buhari supporters that have chosen silence. It will not be well with them. #FreeOwerri112

Nigerian e-feminists are quiet as women who were protesting in Imo State are rounded up & locked away by @PoliceNG.

As usual, they'll leave men to fight for the release of these women, but won't hesitate to tweet when it comes to who will cook soup. 😁#FreeOwerri112 pic.twitter.com/O3zYaFRrkY

#ImoWomenProtesters have been remanded in jail till September 3 for embarking on a PEACEFUL protest.
It is ILLEGAL to arrest and harass anyone protesting peacefully.
Citizens have a constitutional right to free speech and free assembly.#FreeOwerri112 pic.twitter.com/zUSLSOoTWn

APC government is an amalgamation of everything evil:

We did #FreeJonesAbiri
We did #SamuelOgundipe
Now we are doing #FreeOwerri112

Before the end of 2018, we shall be doing #FreeNigeria because they ain't stopping.

We must do everything to defeat this evil cartel.
