Activist HENRY NWODO arrested over planned protest against police extortion



Tuesday, January 28, 2025 - Henry Nwodo, an activist, has been arrested by operatives of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), in the Jahi 2 area of Abuja. 

Nigerians on X have taken to the platform to call for his release after he was reportedly whisked away by police officers at Ruga-Fulani village on Sunday evening, Jan. 26. 

 His arrest was over a planned protest at the force headquarters today, Jan. 27. 

Mr Nwodo, a member of the Take It Back Movement, is one of the organisers of the #OccupyPoliceHQ to End Police Extortion protest which was scheduled for Monday, 27 January, at the Nigeria Police Force Headquarters, Louis Edet House, Abuja. 

The protest was initiated in response to the invitation extended to Omoyele Sowore, AAC presidential candidate in 2023, by the police. 

On January 23, the police invited Sowore to the force headquarters in Abuja for questioning on Monday over alleged cyberstalking, negligent acts, and intimidation.
