FG arraigns Sowore over anti-Tinubu post

Sowore in court

The federal government is poised to arraign human rights activist and politician Omoyele Sowore over his posts against President Bola Tinubu.

Sowore, who is facing a five-count charge over alleged false posts aimed at breaking law and order, was seen at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday.

Also listed as the two defendants in the case are X Incorporation and Meta (Facebook).

Sowore’s social media post is said to contravene Section 24(2) (b) of the Cybercrimes Prohibition and Prevention Act 2024.

A video showing the moment he is captured in court was uploaded on the internet.
