Sowore Challenges Channels TV Presenter Over Attack Inquiry
Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate for the African Action Congress, had a heated exchange with Seun Okinbaloye, the presenter of Channels Television’s Politics Today programme, on Friday. The confrontation arose during a discussion about an attack on Sowore in Ado-Ekiti, where he was assaulted.
Sowore accused the Ekiti State Police Command and the Department of State Services of seizing CCTV footage related to the attack. During the live interview, Okinbaloye questioned Sowore about whether he provoked the attackers, which led to Sowore expressing anger over what he deemed a condescending question.
He stated, “Don’t ask me such a condescending question. I was attacked, I was beaten.
You are asking me if I provoked them? That is victim blaming.” Sowore further criticized the question as not being journalism, emphasizing the seriousness of the incident and the alleged police cover-up.
The clash lasted about two minutes and has since gained significant attention on social media.
