Sowore’s Unfiltered Critique: Police As A ‘Showbiz’ Organization – What’s The Truth

Effiong Inibehe, a human rights lawyer, has criticized the Nigeria Police Force for imposing what he called “unrealistic and unlawful” bail conditions on Omoyele Sowore, former AAC presidential candidate.

Key Details:
Naija News previously reported that Sowore rejected the administrative bail terms after being summoned by the police for allegedly refusing to stop at a checkpoint.

In an interview, Inibehe argued that Sowore committed no crime and accused the police of inventing charges such as obstruction and cyber-stalking to justify their actions.

Inibehe’s Assertions:

• Sowore’s alleged offenses have no legal basis.
• The police turned checkpoints into tools for extortion and harassment.
• Under the Police Act, searches require reasonable suspicion of a crime, which was absent in Sowore’s case.

Inibehe further criticized the bail condition requiring Sowore to present a high-ranking civil servant as surety, calling it “outrageous” and inconsistent with an Appeal Court ruling.

Sowore’s History of Compliance:
The lawyer emphasized Sowore’s history of respecting legal proceedings, citing his compliance during his prolonged detention under President Buhari’s administration.

Conclusion:
Describing the police actions as “entertainment and corruption,” Inibehe vowed to challenge the unjust treatment and defend Sowore. He also warned the police against delaying Sowore’s arraignment, which violates his constitutional rights.
