In a significant development, Mr. Omoyele Sowore has regained his freedom from prison custody today, following his unexpected detention by police officers last Friday. Despite being granted bail, Sowore was forcibly removed from the court premises and taken to prison, an action seen as an attempt to undermine his rights and due process.
In a public statement, Tope Temokun, Esq., announced, “The court spoke. The Constitution spoke. Today, freedom has spoken!” The statement emphasized the importance of resilience among Nigerians, civil society organizations, and media advocates who stood firm against what they described as tyranny.
While celebrating Sowore’s release, the statement also acknowledged that the legal battle continues, with charges still pending in court. Temokun reiterated, “The struggle is not over. The charges remain in court, and we will continue to confront them with the full force of law and truth.”
The statement concluded with a powerful reminder: “Nigeria must never become a country where our voice becomes our crime.”
This announcement was made public today on Facebook, October 27, 2025, and is drawing attention from both the Nigerian public and the international community.
