FG Amends Charges Against Sowore, Drops Co-Defendants X Corp and Meta
The Federal Government has amended criminal charges against human rights activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore, removing X Corp and Meta as co-defendants. The charges, related to cyberbullying the President, have been reduced to two counts.
The amended charges were filed in December 2025 at the Federal High Court in Abuja. Sowore is now the sole defendant, unlike the earlier filing that listed X Corp (formerly Twitter) and Meta (Facebook's parent company).
The charges stem from posts made by Sowore in August 2025. The prosecution alleges that Sowore knowingly transmitted messages that could cause public disorder and endanger lives.
The matter is pending at the Federal High Court in Abuja, with legal representation from Kehinde Partner LP.
