Human rights activist and politician, Omoyele Sowore, on Wednesday, appeared at the Nigeria Police Force Headquarters, Abuja, carrying a travel bag packed with personal essentials including toothpaste, soap, books, and clothing.
The activist, who arrived at about 12:16 p.m., was accompanied by his lawyers, A.K. Musa and Marshal Abubakar, as well as a large crowd of supporters chanting anti-government and anti-Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun songs.
The visit followed a letter of summons dated August 5, 2025, from the Inspector General of Police Monitoring Unit, inviting Sowore for questioning over allegations of forgery and criminal defamation.
In a symbolic gesture, the former presidential candidate came prepared for a possible detention, having earlier urged “revolutionary comrades, citizens of conscience, and voices of resistance” to accompany him to the Force Headquarters.
