Popular activist and Publisher, Omoyele Sowore, has been re-invited by the Nigerian police over allegations of defamation.
Sowore was arrested and detained at the dreaded SARS ‘abbatoir’ police station in Abuja after stepping out a federal high court where he had gone to witness a case. He was released shortly.
However, on Friday, He raised alarm that he has been re-invited by the police and that a plan was underway to remand him in prison.
Confirming his invitation on Twitter, Sowore said, “@mBuhari cabal members led by Malami are so scared now, they want to take me before a judge & send me to prison so that I won’t be able to declare for presidency early next week! We are more than ready! #RevolutionNow #WeCantContinueLikeThis.”
“Earlier yesterday morning a group of well-armed govt sponsored miscreants attacked our contingent, assaulted and stole their phones in the Gudu area of Abuja on our way to the Court of Appeal.”
“The case was immediately reported to the police but they did nothing about it. It turns out it was part of a bigger plot as later in the afternoon a group of well-armed policemen accosted me outside the Court of Appeals gate in Abuja arrested me, accusing me of “defamation” over reports published by SaharaReporters, a standalone legal entity.”
“After hours of detention, they let me leave. I have just been informed now that they’ve procured a judge to remand me in prison custody because they heard I am planning to declare my Presidential ambition early next week. I will be bearding out shortly to meet them, I am fully prepared and very convinced that they are irreversibly heading towards self-destruction.”
