Human rights activist and presidential candidate of African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has launched a fresh attack on Nigeria’s security agencies and the judiciary, accusing top officials of orchestrating a coordinated campaign to suppress dissent and criminalise free speech. In a post on X on Wednesday, shortly after a court session, Sowore described those behind his prosecution as “a bunch of jokers masquerading as law enforcers.”

They described the revocation of his bail as partisan and accused the government of persecuting and harassing the activist.
