“I committed no crime” – Sowore says as he rejects police bail

PEOPLES GAZETTE

Rights activist and AAC presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has insisted that he will not pay the police any bail for an offence he did not commit, just as officers desperately scoured the internet to pinpoint the exact location and coordinates where the alleged crime occurred. 

Mr Sowore honoured the police invitation on Monday alongside his lawyers Marshall Abubakar and Deji Adeyanju, where he was questioned about footage showing uniformed officers asking his driver to park on the road to the airport.

In the footage captured by Mr Sowore, officers randomly stopped his vehicle and asked the activist’s driver to park. Mr Sowore claimed the random stop was done in a manner akin to how most Nigerian police officers often extort airport-bound vehicle owners and those arriving in the country.
