FG Releases Moe Odele Passport Seized Over #EndSARS Protests

Nigeria Federal government has released the passport of End SARS advocate, Modupe (Moe) Odele.

 

OpenLife Nigeria recalls how Immigration officials blocked the activist from boarding an international flight on November 1, 2020.

 

Two days later, the legal practitioner went to retrieve her passport but was told she is under investigation.

 

On Monday, Modele announced that her official document has been returned.

 

In her words, “Passport now picked up. No issues. I’m told I can travel at any time. Thank you so much, everyone, for the help and concern”, she tweeted.

 

The lawyer, Feyikemi Abudu, among others rose to prominence during the agitation for an end to police brutality which rocked Nigeria a few weeks ago.

 

They offered free legal representation to citizens arrested and detained during the demonstrations.

 

It is believed that authorities moved against Odele for her involvement in coordination and supply of emergency services on health and security, facilities, equipment, protest materials, among several needs.

 

Currently, bank accounts of those who received funds linked to the End SARS campaign have been blocked by the Central Bank of Nigeria.
