Sowore to face police panels on Wednesday

The Presidential Candidate of the African Congress (ADC) in the 2023 election, Omoyle Sowore, will appear before the Police Inspector General Monitoring Unit (IGP) in Abuja on Wednesday.

The IGP monitoring unit has invited Sahara reporters of the petition sent by an unnamed person.

The activist confirmed his appearance at the headquarters of the troops in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja.

The statement reads: “The IGP monitoring unit has scheduled my interview for tomorrow (Wednesday) at 11:00 in the morning, but they refused to give a copy of the petition that was recognized to me.”

“Even so, I will respect the invitation, but not alone. I will go with a full house. For all our revolutionary colleagues, as usual, we move together. Let every fighter of freedom, every citizen of conscience, every voice of resistance gather tomorrow morning at Nigeria Police Force Headquarters in Abuja.”

He previously asked the police to reveal the identity of the applicant and the details of the petition against him.
