Sowore, founder and two-time presidential candidate of African Action Congress (AAC) in 2019 and 2023 general elections, respectively, said he had been invited by the Police for questioning for posting a viral video of the Police checkpoint on social media.

Taking to his Facebook page on Thursday, Sowore, who is a fiery critic of the government, added that a credible Police source at the hierarchy of the NPF informed him that “charges” to be slammed against him for his actions were being prepared.

He wrote: “I have just concluded a conversation with the senior Nigeria Police Force officer in Abuja, who requested my presence for questioning regarding an extortion video I did at a police “checkpoint” in Lagos, which prompted the police hierarchy to launch a manhunt for me.”

“He informed me that the “charges” are not yet prepared. I am still awaiting,” Sowore added, ending the post with his signature ‘#RevolutionNow’ hashtag.
