Popular activist, Omoyele Sowore has called a Former house of Representatives member, Ned Nwoko an ‘Idiot’ and accused him of orchestrating his recent arrest.
Sowore, in a video posted on his page said that Nwoko ‘does not have sense’ and that the police was only ‘milking’ him. He wrote on facebook;
“I have returned home after another idiotic outing with the highly corrupt and compromised Nigeria Police Force after the criminal so-called Billionaire Ned Nwoko Ned Nwoko Foundation tried another trick.”
“The @policeng had to inform him of every move just so they can milk Ned. But we know why, they are afraid!”
“They brutalised and tortured our comrades, it was another shameful day of police brutality and impunity, however, these attacks and dehumanisation could only hasten their day of judgement.”
POLITICS NIGERIA recalls that Sowore was arrested on charges of ‘Cyber Stalking’ based on a petition by Nwoko. Shortly after, his lawyer, Marshal Abubakar was also arrested.
Nwoko, in a statement last week through his lawyer, Bryan Ukaegbu, claimed that Abubakar was arrested for standing as a surety to his client, Sowore and failed to produce him in court.
“To start from the beginning, Mr Omoyele Sowore was invited by the office of the Inspector General of Police to answer to a Petition written by the Solicitors to Hon. Prince Ned Nwoko, the law firm of TRIFOLD LAW AND PARTNERS. The petition bordered on criminal acts of defamation of character, injurious falsehood, criminal intimidation, cyberstalking, etc. against Hon Prince Dr. Ned Munir Nwoko and targeted at rubbing his name in the mud, tarnishing his reputation contrary to extant provisions of the Penal Code and the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).”
“As mentioned above and customarily, Mr Sowore was invited by the Nigerian Police Force to give a statement on the claims made in the petition but he refused to honour the invitation. This led to his arrest wherein he still refused to give any statement.”
“Apart from his refusal to give a statement regarding the claims against him, under the law, he was to remain in custody until he is either charged to Court or he fulfils the Police Bail conditions.
“Consequently, his lawyer, one Marshal Abubakar chose to stand as surety for bail for Mr Sowore and he, the lawyer assured the Police to produce Mr Sowore on the next date slated for continuation of the investigation. Now on the said date, neither Mr Sowore nor his lawyer, Abubakar were in attendance at the Police Station. They had been at large since then and it became clear that the lawyer was interfering with the investigations of the Police.”
“Consequently, it then became very necessary to arrest the lawyer in order to get him to produce his client”.
As at the time of filing this report, Sowore is currently at a Grade 1 Area Court in Abuja to seek the release of Abubakar.

Party as a platform is a means or source or way of getting to the seat of authority. But when you get there automatically become for all the citizenry irrespective of the party affiliation. They have the right to go to any party platform hence they are ruling every body in the state but not only the people that voted him. Until Nigerians get this understanding we shall not have good governance.
Umahi is known to be the best governor noted in Nigeria for his good governance.
