The Abuja command of the Nigerian Police has reportedly issued a Warrant
of arrest against Mr Omoyele Sowore over the petition sent to the
Inspector General of Police by Senator Dino Melaye representing Kogi
West.
Senator Melaye complained of threat to his life as a result of Sowore’s
cyber-stalking which is punishable under the Nigerian law. He said since
the malicious and libelous publication against him over the claim by
Sowore that he did not graduate from the Ahmadu Bello University, that
false report has caused him severe public embarrassment.
Several attempts has been made to properly educate Sowore that his
publication is false and misleading, to set the record straight, the
Vice Chancellor of ABU confirmed before the Senate Committee that Dino
graduated from ABU in 2000 but Sowore still went ahead to further his
malicious post on Facebook, disparaging the Vice Chancellor and the
institution.
Recall that Sowore is still having a pending case bothering on false
accusation, blackmail and cyber bullying against one Mr Lekan which led
to Sowore detention at the Panti in Lagos.
The Police said there are other petitions written against Sowore in line
with his stock in propaganda trade which the police has not made
public.
The Police issued the warrant of arrest to invite Sowore for questioning
to avert him using his blog to cause civil unrest, undue incitement and
act of terrorism.
