Sowore on Tuesday vowed to honour the summons “with a full house”, calling on all “revolutionary comrades, citizens of conscience, voices of resistance” to join him.
On Wednesday, Omoyele Sowore, the human rights activist, arrived at the Nigeria Police Force Headquarters with a travel bag containing soap and other personal items, in response to a summons from the Inspector General of Police Monitoring Unit.
The Nigeria police had in a letter dated August 5, invited the activist and politician for questioning following a petition on alleged forgery and criminal defamation.
Sowore on Tuesday vowed to honour the summons “with a full house”, calling on all “revolutionary comrades, citizens of conscience, voices of resistance” to join him.
At about 12:16 p.m., Sowore arrived at the facility accompanied by his lawyers, A.K. Musa and Marshal Abubakar, along with a crowd of supporters chanting anti-government and anti-Kayode Egbetokun songs.
His visibly packed travel bag contained personal essentials, including toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, clothing, books, and other items, a symbolic gesture suggesting he was prepared for possible detention.
