Wahala don burst as Abuja Federal High Court yarn say Meta and X no go dey part of cyberstalking case wey dey against activist Omoyele Sowore again. E be like say na only Sowore go dey face the music!
Dis case na serious matter! Dem accuse Sowore say e dey use him verified social media accounts dey throway false statements for President Bola Tinubu. You fit imagine? Dem charge am under Cybercrimes Act because him call Tinubu ‘criminal’ on top him handle. Abeg, wetin dis country don turn to?
As the matter con reach court on Monday, lead lawyer for di prosecution, Akinlolu Kehinde, SAN, comot Meta and X names from di case as dem amend di charge. So na Sowore alone dey waka go trial wey go start soon. Naija no dull!
Sowore don already plead not guilty to di charges, and e no wan hear any bobo. Di prosecution see am say e fit disrupt di peace with di tweets wey dem consider false. Na dem dey call am cyberstalking, but Sowore dey argue say he no do anything wey bad.
Wetin remain clear be say di prosecution dey claim sowore posts go fit cause wahala for law and order. Di post wey dem talk about na di one wey he drop on August 25, 2025 say, “This criminal @officialABAT actually went to Brazil to state that there is NO MORE corruption under his regime in Nigeria. What audacity to lie shamelessly!” E don too much for this Naija.
But di defence lawyers no gree make dem just dey carry dem witness say dem ready for trial without showing who dem wan call. Na wetin Abubakar, Sowore lawyer, dey talk. E say dem suppose give dem gist about di witnesses before di trial fit start. E even shout say dem dey violate di right of Sowore to fair hearing!
Di prosecution try show say dem fit call any witness anyhow, but Justice Umar don make am clear say make dem bring di witness statement sharp-sharp. He also no let dem start di trial until dem show Sowore who get gists wey go dey talk against am.
Na wah for dis case as we dey watch am. Time go tell if Sowore go come out clean or if e go take the stage get sentenced. Naija no dey sleep and we go dey follow di development as e dey hot!
