Court Slams Sowore With Treason Charges For Insulting Buhari – Do You Think This Is Right Or Wrong?

Posted by E.L.E.X on September 23 2019 under News

When does it become an offense when an opposition party criticize a sitting government?

On Friday, September 20, the Federal Government charged Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) in the 2019 general elections, with treason and money-laundering.

The court claimed Sowore “insulted” president Buhari in his pre-RevolutionNow protest speeches. It’s beginning to seem like Nigeria is under a military rule where criticism against a sitting government is termed as “insult“.

Revolution Now protest led by Sowore was a clear-cut march against several wrongs in our socio-economic system ranging from terrorism, kidnappings, herdsmen attacks and lots more.

According to the constitution, anyone found guilty of treason could be punished with death, life-imprisonment or long jail term.

Considering the activities that led to Sowore‘s arrest, the question we would love to ask is 

Do You Think Treason Charge Against Sowore Is Right Or Wrong?
