The 2023 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress and activist, Omoyele Sowore, was engaged in an altercation with operatives of the Nigeria Police Force and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission when they attempted to block him from entering the Federal High Court premises.
Sowore threw a jab stating that he was not former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello, who is currently facing an alleged financial mismanagement case with the EFCC.
Despite their efforts to stop him, Sowore resisted, asserting that he has right to access the court.
The incident was seen in a video Sowore shared via his X (formally Twitter) handle on Monday.
In the video, Sowore said, “Why are you shouting at me? Do I look like Yahaya Bello? I have business in court. I don’t need to be cleared by either the police or EFCC because none of you is an officer of the court.
“This is a Federal High Court; bring a court official, and I will talk to them. EFCC brought me to court, and they are still harassing us. You have no right to stand in front of the high court. You are not my lawyer and have no right to know my case.”
Sowore has previously had several confrontations with security personnel, as this is not his first.
