Omoyele Sowore, the organizer of the #RevolutionNow protest, is facing a court hearing before Justice Musa Liman of the Federal High Court in Abuja on charges of cybercrime.
Sowore had honoured the invitation of the police on Monday, January 27, 2025, when he was questioned at the Force Criminal Investigation Department.
He was later given administrative bail, but he continued to be held without bail due to his refusal to comply with the bail conditions.
Later, he was charged with cybercrime on behalf of the police.
In count three, the police said Sowore on December 20, 2024, through his X handle, called the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, “the illegal IG of Nigeria Police Force”.
Sowore is being accused by the police of posting the picture Egbetokun on his X handle with the caption: “Mediocrity, incompetence, corruption, a country run by characterless people can not make progress”.
The police also alleged that Sowore, through his X handle, said, “IGP Kayode Egbetokun will destroy the Nigeria police if we don’t act now”.
