DRC: The TGI of Kinshasa/Gombe examines the request for provisional release of Nathanaël Onokomba

The Kinshasa/Gombe court examined on Friday, August 28, the request for provisional release of Nathanaël Onokomba, an opposition figure arrested in December 2025. His lawyers requested the lifting of his preventive detention, arguing the lack of a valid warrant and serious evidence of guilt. The court postponed the case to September 11, 2026, for further instruction. Onokomba is charged with statements on social media X that are considered to deny the atrocities committed by the AFC/M23 rebels.
