Omoyele Sowore, publisher of Sahara Reporters online news portal may have landed pat in the centre of a rape scandal.

Though the alleged act is believed to have been dug up from the writer’s past but the players and circumstances of the alleged crime are such that cannot easily be brushed off.

Former Inspector General of Police, Mike Okiro recently in a forum, made a pronouncement that Omoyele Sowore of the Sahara Reporters was once arrested for rape.

The statement made by the former police chief has since become a subject of discussion and controversy and merely heard in small talks among a section of the news media.

Okiro alleged that Omoyele Sowore had raped a UNILAG female student who’s now married with two kids. “I arrested him when I was Surulere Area Commander of the Nigeria Police. I prosecuted him and he jumped bail”, said Mike Okiro, former Inspector General of Nigeria Police?

Okiro actually gave a graphical detail of the crime, the circumstances and the state of the victim at the time.

Brick bats have been flung back and forth over this revelation. As the controversy rages, some have hinted that Okiro’s revelation was belated and smacks of corruption, others allege that Okiro must have been privy to Sowore’s bail-jumping stunt, while yet another segment insist that politics or not, a criminal must face justice no matter how long ago the crime was committed.

So far, Sowore has neither affirmed Okiro’s pronouncement nor denied it, thus making further speculations and controversies, rife.

Bros, Sowore is untouchable and they are merely wasting their own time. I would imagine that antics like this only spur him on to be more dedicated and focused on his work.

Sowore is a rapist, I want that eediot to be in jail

Lol
A textbook method of trying to silence a crusader!
You guys surely learnt well from the Julian Assange affair!

Please oga police what this one got to do with our present situation. Hypocrites seeking for attention

Sowore is an immoral being. This r@pe revelation is not surprising at all.

We all have a past

But why Omoyele, why

Clear indication that this Sowore dude is surely a nightmare unto this corrupt clueless government.

The next time he sets foot in Nigeria he will be arrested for jumping bail and subsequently re arraigned in court on charges of r@pe.

No. It shows the kind of character masquerading as a civil rights campaigner for good governance Sowore is.

It doesn't matter if it was committed 1000 years ago. A rapist is a rapist and must face the charge one day.

If found guilty of rape, he should be prosecuted

Which tribe is Sowore again?

It seems from the usual tribe well-known for such act

Okiro alleged that Omoyele Sowore had raped a UNILAG female student who’s now married with two kids. “I arrested him when I was Surulere Area Commander of the Nigeria Police. I prosecuted him and he jumped bail”, said Mike Okiro, former Inspector General of Nigeria Police?-Mike Okiro

Sahara Reporters a rapist media house

Shame on Okiro, police force and PDP. Sowore will continue to expose the rot in this govt and theirs nothing you people can do about it.

dumbfounded!!!
he is a disgrace

Anyways, if he truly committed the said crime, then he should be made to face the music. Being a crusader of some sort doesn't mean he cannot be jailed. I mean imprisoned.

Are we not on Frontpage yet?
