By Jeph Ajobaju, Chief Copy Editor
Omoyele Sowore, human rights activist and SaharaReporters publisher, has raised the alarm that the police are planning to arrest and prosecute for exposing alleged corruption at a checkpoint mounted by police officers in Lagos.
The founder and two-time presidential candidate of African Action Congress (AAC) in 2019 and 2023 general elections, disclosed that he has been invited by the police for interrogation over his social media viral video on the police checkpoint.
Sowore, a fiery critic of government, wrote on his Facebook page that a credible member of police top brass informed him that court “charges” are being prepared against him for his actions.
“I have just concluded a conversation with the senior Nigeria Police Force officer in Abuja, who requested my presence for questioning regarding an extortion video I did at a police ‘checkpoint’ in Lagos, which prompted the police hierarchy to launch a manhunt for me.”
“He informed me that the ‘charges’ are not yet prepared. I am still awaiting,” Sowore said, ending the post with his signature ‘#RevolutionNow’ hashtag.
