The Nigerian police today arrested activist and publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore.
Mr Sowore’s lawyer, Inibehe Effiong disclosed this via his Twitter handle saying that police laid ambush and arrested the Publisher who was in the Appeal Court earlier today for his case.
“| just stepped out of the Court of Appeal in Abuja with Omoyele Sowore after our case only for the Police to lay ambush and arrest him outside the Court. He has been taken away (presumably to former SARS Office in Abuja),” Mr Effiong tweeted.
Details of why Mr Sowore was arrested is yet to be known.
Before now, in 2020, Mr Sowore was arrested by the Nigerian police for staging a rally on the New Year eve.
