AAC Alerts on Alleged Kidnapping of Presidential Candidate Sowore
The African Action Congress (AAC) has expressed alarm over an alleged attack on its 2027 presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, and his campaign team in Ekiti State. The incident reportedly occurred around 1pm on a Friday, with Sowore's current whereabouts remaining unknown.
Abdulkareem Musa, the spokesperson for the Sowore/Magashi Presidential Election Campaign, described the situation as a serious security concern and urged security agencies, including the Nigeria Police Force and the Department of State Services, to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident. The campaign demanded immediate security assessments and protective measures, emphasizing that politics should not involve violence or intimidation.
In a post on Sowore's official X account, the campaign alleged that he had been kidnapped by armed thugs. The attack's details, including the identities of the attackers, were not disclosed.
Sowore was in Ekiti State for campaign activities and missed a court appearance in Abuja due to these engagements, with his cyberbullying trial adjourned until November.
