Sowore Attacked in Ekiti, Police Officer Disarmed
Deji Adeyanju, a human rights lawyer, expressed serious concern regarding a violent attack on Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State. Sowore reported the incident on his official Facebook page, stating that the attack occurred inside a restaurant and involved well-armed government-sponsored thugs.
He accused the Department of State Service (DSS) of providing the attackers with his exact location, which enabled the assault. Adeyanju lamented that during the incident, the police officer assigned to Sowore was disarmed.
He condemned this act of violence and political intimidation, asserting that such lawlessness has no place in Nigeria's democracy. Adeyanju called on relevant security agencies to investigate the incident, ensure Sowore's safety, and bring those responsible to justice.
