#Omoyele Sowore

Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), claims that his current prosecution is politically motivated. He argues that he is being targeted for opposing corruption, according to ThisDay Live.

The Centre for Public Integrity has criticized Omoyele Sowore for his remarks against the Department of State Services (DSS), highlighting ongoing reforms within the agency. The group recalled Sowore's previous detention and questioned his political motives in making such statements, particularly regarding his comments on Kuje prison, which they assert is not a hotel.

Former presidential candidate Peter Obi has raised alarms regarding the remand of activist and publisher Omoyele Sowore, labeling it a threat to Nigeria's democracy. His comments came after a ruling by the Federal High Court in Abuja, where Justice Mohammed Umar ordered Sowore's remand in Kuje Prison pending further proceedings.
