Alleged Cyberbullying: Sowore Fails to Enter Defence
The publisher of Sahara Reporters and former Presidential aspirant, Omoyele Sowore, on Tuesday failed to enter his defence in his ongoing trial over allegations bordering on cyberbullying against President Bola Tinubu.
Sowore’s lawyer, Mr Marshall Abubakar, informed Justice Mohammed Umar of the Federal High Court that a letter had been written to the Chief Judge (CJ), Justice John Tsoho, seeking the reassignment of the case.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Sowore is being prosecuted by the Department of State Services (DSS) for allegedly making false claims against the person of President Tinubu.
The defendant was accused of referring to the president as “a criminal” in a post he made on his “X” and Facebook accounts.
