Human rights lawyer Deji Adeyanju on Monday told a Federal High Court in Abuja that President Bola Tinubu had publicly declared that Nigerians were free to criticise and “even insult” him.
Adeyanju, while defending Sahara Reporters publisher Omoyele Sowore in his alleged cyberbullying trial, said the President made the remarks before Sowore’s controversial X and Facebook posts that led to the charges filed by the Department of State Services (DSS).
According to him, Tinubu also urged the judiciary “not to allow itself to become an instrument of oppression” against government critics.
