Human rights activist and Publisher of Sahara reporters, Omoyele Sowore, has launched a fresh attack on the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, describing him as a “dedicated criminal.”
In a post shared via his official X (formerly Twitter) account, Sowore accused Wike of a long history of corruption, violence, and electoral malpractice. He alleged that the former Rivers State governor was caught on tape in 2016 threatening officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) during a by-election, after purportedly bribing them to rig in his favour.
“The crazy, killer drunkard–murderer–land thief FCT Minister, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, is caught on tape here threatening to kill @inecnigeria officials he bribed to rig a by-election for him in 2016. Wike is a dedicated criminal. His day will come,” Sowore wrote.
He further claimed that the minister has a history of political violence, alleging that Wike has “killed many, stolen so much, and gotten away with too many crimes.”
Sowore also accused Wike of threatening him with assassination, allegedly on behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, adding that such threats were not new.
As of the time of filing this report, neither Wike nor the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has responded to Sowore’s allegations.
