Immigration releases #EndSARS leader’s passport

The Nigeria Immigration Service has returned the passport of one of the #EndSARS leaders, Modupe (Moe) Odele, making her free to travel out anytime she deems fit.

Immigration officials had confiscated Odele passport and subsequently stopped her from boarding an international flight on November 1. Two days later, the legal practitioner went to retrieve her passport but was told she was under investigation.

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

“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.

A lawyer, Feyikemi Abudu, among others, became the toast of the populace during the demonstration against police brutality.

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.

Bank accounts of those who reportedly received funds linked to the EndSARS campaign have been frozen.
