PRESS STATEMENT

ANY ATTEMPT TO DETAIN OMÓYELE SOWORE WILL BE MET WITH MASS RESISTANCE

We have received credible information that the Commissioner of Police, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has invited our comrade and convener, Omoyele Sowore, reportedly in connection with the ongoing #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest and other legitimate acts of political expression. Sowore has since honored the invitation but is yet to return.

We wish to categorically warn that any form of detention, harassment, or intimidation of Sowore by the Nigeria Police Force or any arm of the Tinubu regime will be met with an immediate, nationwide mass action.

Sowore is not a criminal; he is a renowned human rights activist and a voice of conscience for millions of oppressed Nigerians who continue to suffer under a corrupt and tyrannical system.

The Tinubu-led regime must understand that this is not 1984, and Nigerians will not sit idly while their rights to dissent and protest are trampled upon.

The right to peaceful protest is constitutionally guaranteed, and no regime, no matter how desperate, can take it away.

Let it be clearly known: if Sowore is not released immediately and unconditionally, the Take It Back Movement, alongside progressive organizations across the country, will mobilize citizens for sustained protests and civil disobedience actions until he regains his freedom.

We hold the Commissioner of Police, the Inspector General of Police, and the Tinubu regime fully responsible for the safety and well-being of Omoyele Sowore.

Sanyaolu Juwon
National Coordinator, Take It Back Movement

All these noisemakers that their protests do not have more than twenty people. I watched their show of shame in Abuja and I couldn't count up to ten clowns shouting " free Nnamdi Kanu now, teargas cannot stop us" but when they saw teargas, they became Usain bolt .
Don't disturb us, if you're bold, just go to Police Headquarters and release Sowore. After all Ford Foundation is giving him money for his aluta and you, Juwon, is one of those chopping out of it.

It is surprising that non of the online advocates could not come out to protest, the numbers of Yoruba that came out for freeMNK protest are more than the SE people.

So sad

flipboss:
You are apparently mad. While I don't support disobeying a court order, I wouldn't castigate Sowore so much for leading a peaceful protest in the same country where bandits and terrorits move quite freely and even dine with governors. Your hypocrisy is supporting the FG as a stooge of APC is what is alarming.
Why not speak out and speak up

sreamsense:
Who are the "mass" you are referring to? You, your family members and ignorant friends, right? This your test of microphone for making noise will not work, Sowore is now legally arrested. If you call for protest again, police will approach court again for another order and you will go and join your boss. Tell your account to prepare his worker salary on time, and pay his workers their due because Sowore may spend days in detention. Pray they not use delay tactics to get bail. Little by little, you will get sense

Smartcitizen:
Are you sure that this was the same Tinubu who was disturbing the public on how undemocratic PDP was some years ago?

Nawaoo!

This man is a big time hypocrite I!
