The human rights activist and AAC presidential flag bearer the 2019 and 2023 general elections has informed a team of the Nigerian Police officers that fight for justice will persist this year.
Honoring an invitation extended to my by the force headquarters in Abuja, Sowore said he is prepared to face any consequences as he made it clear to the team that the matter revolves around his publicly stated view that the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, who is due for retirement and clearly tired, had his tenure extended illegally.
He said: ' I maintain that we are entering a promising year, and our fight for justice will persist."
I have recently completed an engagement with a team from the Nigeria Police Force at the Force Intelligence Department (FID) in Abuja, which they referred to as an “interview”.
According to Omoyele Sowore: The police relied on a rehashed set of information sourced mostly from the internet. When I asked them to identify the location of the alleged “crime” in Lagos, they provided a vague response, stating it was along the airport road.
I chose not to provide a written statement, as we informed the Police team that, in the absence of a defined crime, the process to determine such was unnecessary.
They took a break and later informed me that they were awaiting instructions from their superiors. It seems their plan is to detain me and take me to Lagos for a kangaroo trial.
However, I am prepared to face any consequences. I made it clear to the team that the matter revolves around my publicly stated view that the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, who is due for retirement and clearly tired, had his tenure extended illegally. I maintain that we are entering a promising year, and our fight for justice will persist. #RevolutionNow
