Sowore Accuses Police and Judiciary of Conspiracy to Silence Dele Farotimi
Human rights activist and RevolutionNow convener Omoyele Sowore has taken to his X handle (formerly Twitter) to allege a conspiracy involving Nigeria’s police force and the judiciary, aimed at silencing lawyer and activist Dele Farotimi.
Sowore’s post accuses the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun, judges, and influential lawyers of orchestrating a plan to keep Farotimi behind bars under questionable legal conditions.
In his statement, Sowore described these judicial figures as “powerful caricatures” and called Egbetokun’s role as IGP “illegal.”
He claims their plan hinges on manipulating a “Kangaroo Magistrate Court” to detain Farotimi, thus stripping him of his ability to fight back.
“The goal is to abandon Dele Farotimi in a prison controlled by them… essentially fighting him while his hands are tied behind his back,” Sowore wrote.
Dele Farotimi, a well-known activist, lawyer, and vocal critic of corruption in Nigeria, has consistently spoken out against the abuse of power and human rights violations in the country.
His advocacy, which often calls for governmental accountability and systemic reforms, has made him a target for those he criticizes.
The recent attempts to detain him, according to Sowore, are a tactic to suppress his voice and activism.
