Sowore Condemns Doris Ogala's Remand as State Abuse

Omoyele Sowore, a human rights activist and politician, reacted strongly to the remand of Doris Ogala at Kirikiri Correctional Centre, which occurred on October 28, 2026. Ogala faces three counts related to the alleged publication of photographs, dissemination of false electronic messages, and threats directed at Pastor Chris Okafor.

Sowore criticized the police, led by Tunji Disu, for using the Cybercrimes Act to protect powerful individuals while undermining ordinary Nigerians. He argued that the police should not transform a private dispute into a criminal case and urged the judiciary to resist being influenced by religious or personal interests.

Sowore emphasized Ogala's political role as a governorship candidate for the African Action Congress (AAC) and insisted on the protection of her constitutional rights during the legal process. Ogala remains in custody pending her bail application hearing scheduled for October 30, 2026.
