Free Sowore Now, Drop Baseless Charges And End Persecution — SERAP Warns Tinubu Gov't

SERAP described Sowore's detention and prosecution as unjustified and an attack on fundamental human rights.

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has called on the administration of President Bola Tinubu to immediately and unconditionally release human rights activist and presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore.

SERAP described Sowore's detention and prosecution as unjustified and an attack on fundamental human rights.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, the rights organisation urged the Federal Government to discontinue what it described as baseless charges against the former presidential candidate, insisting that he was being punished for peacefully exercising his constitutional rights.

SERAP said, "We are once again calling on the Tinubu administration to immediately and unconditionally release journalist Omoyele Sowore and drop all the baseless charges against him.
