CSO Slams Police for Unlawfully Re-Arresting Sowore After Bail

Civil Society Organizations condemn the Nigerian police for re-arresting Omoyele Sowore, a 2023 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, shortly after being granted bail by a magistrate court in Abuja. The CSO, led by President Joe Okei-Odumakin, describes the police's actions as unlawful, undemocratic, and a gross violation of the rule of law.

They emphasize the need for due process and respect for citizens' rights, calling on the federal government to comply with court decisions. The incident raises concerns about the protection of human rights and the independence of the judiciary in Nigeria.
