Taking to his Facebook page, Sowore issued a stinging rebuke of the Nigeria Police Force under the leadership of Tunji Disu, accusing the institution of repeatedly deploying the Cybercrimes Act to protect powerful individuals at the expense of ordinary Nigerians.
Sowore further argued that the police had no legitimate role in transforming what he described as a private dispute into a criminal prosecution, and demanded that the judiciary resist becoming a tool of religious or personal influence.
