Sowore faults claim he planned to topple govt
Detained convener of #RevolutionNow, Omoyele Sowore has faulted claim by the Department of State Services that he planned to topple the government of President Mohammadu Burahi with his planned protest.
Citing instances where the DSS had accused many prominent Nigerians, including President Buhari of engaging in treasonable acts for participating in street protest, Sowore denied receiving funds from any external sources as claimed by the DSS. He said: “President Muhammadu Buhari and other leaders of the ruling party had led street protests in the past which the Applicant/Respondent claimed were planned to overthrow the federal government.
“Based on the misleading advice of the applicant/respondent , any political leader who criticized the federal government has always been accused of engaging in sabotage, treason, treasonable felony or terrorism.
