Tuesday, September 3, 2024 - Activist and former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore, says Nigerians will remain defiant in the face of tyranny and oppression by the Nigerian Government against its citizens.
Sowore stated this in a statement on his
official X handle on Tuesday while reacting to the arrest and arraignment of an
investigation journalist, Isaac Bristol, also known as PIDOMNigeria.
The Nigeria Police on Tuesday arraigned the
whistleblower on charges bothering on money laundering, unlawfully obtaining
and disseminating classified official secret documents and cybercrime, at the
Federal High Court in Abuja
He was subsequently sent to prison by
Justice Emeka Nwite.
Reacting, Sowore, who lamented that the
charges against the journalist are bogus and ridiculous, said he is glad at the
suspect’s boldness.
He wrote, “The Federal High Court in Abuja
sent Isaac Bristol, AKA ‘PIDOMNigeria’, the whistleblower and investigative
journalist, to prison.
“The charges were as bogus and ridiculous as
ever. However, I am glad of Isaac’s defiance. We remain defiant against tyranny
and oppression.
“They will hear from Nigerians loud and
clear very soon.”
