Police Delay Sowore’s Rights Suit After Filing Last-Minute Counter-Affidavit in Court
Proceedings in Omoyele Sowore’s fundamental rights enforcement suit against Lagos Commissioner of Police Jimoh Moshood were stalled after police submitted a fresh counter-affidavit inside the courtroom, a move described by his lawyer as an ambush tactic. Sowore is challenging the CP’s November 3 declaration naming him “wanted” without any formal charge or warrant. The case, before Justice Musa Kakaki of the Federal High Court in Lagos, has been adjourned to December 9 as Sowore’s legal team prepares additional filings. His lawyers argue that the declaration violated his constitutional rights and was used as a tool of intimidation.
