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.

SEC Sues Elon Musk Over Delayed Disclosure of Twitter Stake Purchase

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a lawsuit against tech billionaire Elon Musk, accusing him of failing to promptly disclose his ownership of more than 5% of Twitter ahead of his acquisition of the company in 2022.

According to the SEC, Musk began purchasing Twitter shares early in 2022, surpassing the 5% threshold on March 14, 2022.

Under securities laws, Musk was required to disclose his holdings within 10 days, but he didn’t reveal that he owned 9% of Twitter until April 4, which was 11 days later than the legal deadline.

The delay in disclosure is said to have led to a 27% jump in Twitter’s share price after Musk made the announcement.

The SEC also claims that Musk’s actions resulted in an underpayment of at least $150 million for the shares he bought during that period.

In response, Musk’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, defended his client, insisting that Musk had “done nothing wrong.”

Spiro also accused the SEC of running a “multi-year campaign of harassment” against the billionaire.
