Police Confirm Omoyele Sowore's Safety After Altercation
The Ekiti State Command of the Nigeria Police Force has clarified that Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate for the African Action Congress (AAC), was not kidnapped as previously reported. On Friday, the Police stated that Sowore had an altercation with individuals at a restaurant in the Dalimore area of Ado-Ekiti, prompting immediate police intervention.
Sowore sustained minor injuries and is currently receiving medical attention at the Police Hospital in Ado-Ekiti. The statement, signed by SP Abutu Sunday, emphasized that the Commissioner of Police, Falade Adegoroye Michael, has ordered a discreet investigation to uncover the full circumstances of the incident and identify those involved.
The Police Command urged the public to disregard false narratives about a kidnapping and to avoid spreading unverified information that could incite panic. Sowore, however, disputed the Police's characterization of the event, claiming he was attacked.
