Nigerian activist and 2027 presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore stated in a social media post that he participated in a "Free Palestine" protest in New York City on Thursday. He described the event as a response to alleged human rights abuses in Gaza and criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Reports indicate that over 100 individuals were arrested during demonstrations held as Netanyahu addressed the United Nations General Assembly, though specific details regarding the protest's organization and scale remain based on media accounts.
