Convener of #RevolutionNow and activist, Omoyele Sowore, has honoured police invitation for interrogation after he arrived the Force headquarters in Abuja on Wednesday carrying a travel bag.

Sowore had honoured the invitation from the Inspector General of Police’s Monitoring Unit over a petition allegedly filed against him by yet to named persons.

Recall that Sowore had earlier rejected the police’s invitation, describing it as “defective and riddled with legal errors,” casting doubt on its validity.

The original allegation against him, “inciting disturbance,” a term not recognised under Nigerian law, was later replaced with “forgery and criminal defamation.”

One of his supporters, Rex Elanu of the TakeItBack Movement, said the police invitation was “a vendetta by the IGP” even as he accused the police authorities of orchestrating a witch-hunt.

“It is shameful that the Inspector General of Police has resorted to vendetta against Sowore, who has consistently spoken truth to power. We will continue to liberate Nigerians from the bondage of bad governance, including that of the Nigeria Police.”

The former presidential candidate of AAC arrived at about 12:13pm in company of his lawyers, Barristers A.K Musa and Marshal Abubakar, and his supporters, chanting anti-government and anti-IGP Egbetokun chants while demanding for the removal of the IGP.

Some of his supporters said the bag contained personal things like toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, clothing, books, and other items in preparation for his possible detention.

However, members of the TakeItBack Movement and other allied activist groups have issued a two-hour ultimatum to the police to either release Sowore or face mass resistance.

According to the convener of #NUDE NIGERIA, Princess Mikky, “If they refuse to release Sowore, then they must arrest us with him. We are not going to leave here. This is 12:16 p.m., and after two hours, if they fail to release him, then they have to arrest all of us.”

Meanwhile, at the time of filing this report, Sowore was still being interrogated by police operatives.
