Sowore Challenges Lawyer's 'Tout' Insult in Abuja Court
On Monday, at the Federal High Court in Abuja, a confrontation occurred between Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, and lawyer Yakubu, who allegedly called Sowore a "tout." In a viral video, Sowore demanded that Yakubu retract his statement, questioning the reason behind the insult. Sowore expressed his discontent, stating, "You have no right to insult me," and criticized Yakubu for his behavior in a courtroom setting.
This incident took place just before the commencement of proceedings in Sowore's ongoing trial, where he faces accusations of cyberbullying President Bola Tinubu by labeling him a "criminal" on social media. Sowore's supporters condemned Yakubu's remarks during the incident.
