Inside life...Sowore used his media might saharareporters.com to ridicule former President Goodluck Jonathan not knowing the cane used to flog the first wife is still properly kept for the new wife...Buhari must make sure he rots in jail dan iska.

Obasanjo, Saraki, Atiku etc all forced Buhari down our throats now they are regretting it...i am patiently waiting for Tinubu's turn.

Amnesty international has reacted to the seven-count charge of treasonable felony and money laundering against detained activist and Convener of #RevolutionNow protest, Omoyele Sowore by the Federal Government.

Sowore, a presidential candidate in the February 2019 presidential election was charged along with Olawale Bakare, also known as Mandate.

The charges were signed on behalf of t‎he Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), by Aminu Alilu, a Chief State Counsel in the Department of Public Prosecutions of the Federation‎, the Federal Ministry of Justice.

In the charges instituted against the defendants, the prosecution accused Sowore and his co-defendant of committing conspiracy to commit treasonable felony in breach of section 516 of the Criminal Code Act by allegedly staging “a revolution campaign on September 5, 2019 aimed at removing the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

The prosecution also accused them of committing the actual offence of reasonable felony in breach of section, 4(1)(c) of the Criminal Code Act, by using the platform of Coalition for Revolution, in August 2019 in Abuja, Lagos and other parts of Nigeria, to stage the #RevolutionNow protest allegedly aimed at removing the President.

It also accused Sowore of cybercrime offences in violation of section 24(1)(b) of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention) Act, by “knowingly” sending “messages by means of press interview granted on Arise Television network which you knew to be false for the purpose of causing insult, enmity, hatred and ill-will on the person of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

Reacting, Amnesty international in a post on its verified Twitter page condemned the charges.

The global rights human organization described the charges against Sowore “as an attempt by the Nigerian authorities to deprive Sowore of his human rights”


The post read: “Amnesty International condemns the bizarre charges pressed on activist Omoyele Sowore for expressing his views in media interviews.

“The trumped up charges he is facing show an attempt by the Nigerian authorities to deprive him of his human rights; Omoyele Sowore continued incarceration on application of the Terrorism Act for exercising his right to freedom of expression is a misuse of the criminal system to silence dissent.

“We call on the Nigerian authorities to respect and protect human rights of all persons without discrimination and ensure that it does not use its laws to justify violations of Omoyele Sowore human rights.”

If you don't have anything sensible to say just keep quiet. I hate this silly narrative, So now because he once criticized Jonathan ( criticism that was on point by the way) we shouldn't speak against the asinine charges that are being brought up against him. This is someone that is clearly fighting for your right while you sit behind your keyboard, foolishly typing nonsense angry.

Yes PMB is a doormat it doesn't make Jonathan the best choice. Jonathan was a very inept and cowardly president. The same corruption and cabalist regime we see now was same under Jonathan. Just as we will make sure never to vote in another PMB again so shall we never vote in a no balls Jonathan as president. Never!!

That doesn't change the fact that Nigerians are worst off now than ever. Buhari has succeeded in destroying some of the good values he has built in the past.
By his age, he may not have the privilege to re-write some of the impressions he is creating in the mind of people.
I wish him well

Mr. Man, if Sowore did not help enthrone Buhari that has a very visible trademark of dictorship and a verifiable record of jailing "journalists", he won't be a Nigerian President now, you on the handle won't be here typing trash in the name of fighting for someone who decided to follow this route f00lishly.

So, as it appears, it is you who have nothing sensible to say judging from your reply. Kapish.

Sowore wanted change just like most Nigerians due to the corruption and ineptitude of Jonathan's regime. Unfortunately we choose wrong we based our sentiments on the hope that PMB will clean house. The idiot made it worst. Now, should we just accept our faith and not fight back? It takes a man of courage to stand against something he once believed in. We shouldn't say because Sowore once criticized Jonathan and made a case for PMB to be president. We should look the other way while this ridiculous charges are being brought against him. Because if we allow this dullard to get away with impunity now he will only continue until it hits closer to us.

Notice Buhari is yet to condemn
fulani herdsmen,Boko Haram or
Miyetti Allah, let alone arrest them.

Instead if people arrest Fulani Herdsmen the Army cones to rescue them.


https://punchng.com/soldiers-kill-vigilante-release-arrested-herdsmen-in-edo/

Boko Haram are recruited into the Army.

When Kanu declared Biafra, many from the West abused him.

In fact it's the fulani herdsmen that made Kanu declare Biafra in this video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55PajIFvnNI



Now the West is beginning to see what we saw with Sowore & The way they are humiliating Osinbajo.

You these people. You are all one of the reasons the Black race may never achieve progress because everything is about ethnicity to you, east, west, south. Who cares, human being are human being. Get over this sentiments. It is not getting anyone anywhere.
