Omoyele Sowore, the African Action Congress’s (AAC) presidential candidate in the 2019 election, was purportedly arrested by police in Abuja.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Femi Adeyeye, revealed this in a statement posted on Thursday.
Sowore was detained after stepping out of the court where the party’s Chairman and members had gathered to witness the party’s lawsuit against the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and usurpers, according to the statement.
Sowore was allegedly transported to the erstwhile Special Anti-Robbery Squad, often known as “Abattoir,” according to Adeyeye.
Sowore had filed an appeal against the Federal High Court’s decision confirming Leonard Nzenwa as the AAC’s acting Chairman.
“As of the time of publishing this statement, he [Sowore] is currently at the feared SARS unit known as ‘Abattoir,’ and men from that station were the ones who carried out the arrest,” the statement said.
The reason for his arrest, according to the statement, is still unknown.
