Sowore Makes Heavy Allegations Against The Nigerian Police, Blasts Lagos CP & IGP Egbetokun The Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, on Tuesday heard the fundamental rights case filed by human rights activist and Sahara Reporters publisher, Omoyele Sowore, against the Lagos State Commissioner of Police. The suit, presided over by Justice Musa Kakaki, challenges the police declaration of Sowore as a wanted person in November 2025. Speaking to journalists after the hearing, Sowore’s lawyer, Barrister Tope Temokun, said the police failed to provide any legal or constitutional basis for declaring the activist wanted or restricting his movements. Temokun described the police actions as arbitrary, unconstitutional, and dangerous to the rights of citizens. He explained that their application before the court was finally heard after several adjournments, with the judge consistently extending an earlier restraining order that stopped the police from taking further actions against Sowore. According to him, the Lagos Commissioner of Police acted without any petition, criminal allegation, invitation, or evidence against Sowore before issuing the controversial statements of October 27 and November 3, 2025. Temokun noted that the activist was not accused of any offence but was merely targeted while massive demolitions were ongoing in Lagos, especially in areas populated by low-income residents.
