NEYGA Condemns Sowore for Courtroom Harassment of Lawyer
The Northern Ethnic Youth Groups Assembly (NEYGA) has condemned activist Omoyele Sowore for his alleged harassment of a lawyer within the Federal High Court premises in Abuja. NEYGA described the incident as a national disgrace and a direct threat to national security and public safety.
They called on Inspector-General of Police Olatunji Rilwan Disu to secure all court premises across Nigeria and urged the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) to take a firm stance against Sowore's actions. A viral video showed Sowore and his supporters confronting and bullying a legal practitioner, which NEYGA stated could have led to a breakdown of law and order.
The group emphasized that Sowore, the African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate, should refrain from using judicial premises for political campaigning, as it violates the Electoral Act. NEYGA warned that unchecked aggression around courtrooms could undermine the rule of law in Nigeria.
