Reno Omokri Retracts Drug Lord Claim Against Tinubu During Sowore's Trial

During Omoyele Sowore's trial on cybercrime charges, Reno Omokri's past comment describing Bola Tinubu as a drug lord resurfaced. Omokri publicly retracted the statement, acknowledging its inaccuracy and apologizing to Tinubu.

Despite initially criticizing Tinubu, Omokri has since accepted the Supreme Court's ruling on Tinubu's election challenge and apologized for his previous remarks. The trial featured dramatic scenes, including the presentation of a video clip containing Omokri's past comments.

Omokri denied the allegations against him, stating that his statements were made voluntarily and would be testified to under oath. The court admitted the video clip as evidence, overruling objections from the prosecution.

The trial was adjourned until February 4 for further proceedings.
