Rights Groups Urge Tinubu to Drop Charges Against Sowore

SERAP and Amnesty International urge President Bola Tinubu to withdraw criminal charges against activist Omoyele Sowore and social media platforms for alleged dissent suppression. The organizations accuse the government of misusing legal processes to stifle free speech and silence critics, calling for the protection of constitutional rights and international human rights obligations.

The plea emphasizes the importance of upholding democratic principles and preventing the weaponization of the justice system for political purposes.
