Court Remands Sowore in Kuje Prison Over Criminal Defamation
Popular human rights activist and African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has been remanded at the Kuje Correctional Centre, by the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday.
The detention stems from a two-count cybercrime charge filed by the Department of State Services (DSS), which accuses Sowore of cyberstalking and criminal defamation after he labeled President Bola Tinubu a “criminal” in an August 2025 social media post.
In August 2025, Sowore posts on X and Facebook, calling President Tinubu a “criminal” over statements made during a trip to Brazil. He refuses DSS demands to delete the posts, citing free speech.
Sowore will remain in custody until Wednesday, June 24, 2026, when legal proceedings are scheduled to resume.
