Just In:Sowore Regains Freedom
Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore, has been released from detention.
It would be recalled that the politician and right activist has been having a running battle with the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, over the elongation of his tenure which ought to have ended last year until 2027.
Sowore, who was invited over his comment on the recent promotion in the police alleging that the IGP favours his close aides was detained on Wednesday when he appeared at the police headquarters to answer summon.
Sowore wrote shortly after he was released:
“The Nigerian Police Force has finally capitulated to the demands of our revolutionary movement. After subjecting me to an unjust, unwarranted, and entirely unlawful detention, they had no choice but to release me tonight.
“However, this is not a victory to be celebrated with fanfare. It is not a moment for self-congratulation or eased tongues. It is simply a reminder of what we already knew that when we stand together, when we refuse to bow, even the most oppressive institutions are forced to bend or break!
“I am deeply grateful to every one of you who refused to look away, particularly our strong and ever-firm legal team, the advocates for justice, and the resisters who marched on the streets through this ordeal.
“You all stood firm, raised your voices, and showed up in person, online, and at home in the diaspora.
“It is your unwavering solidarity that made this outcome inevitable.
“This moment is not an end. It is fuel. It is proof that unity works and that resistance is not futile. The struggle continues, fiercer and more focused than ever, UNTIL WE WIN!”
