Prison Oficials Afraid Sowore Will Incite Inmates – Agba Jalingo
Journalist, Agba Jalingo, has expressed that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration is afraid of Sowore.
A Magistrate Court in Abuja on Tuesday had remanded Sowore and four other activists in Kuje Prison pending the ruling on their bail application on Friday following their protest on New Year’s Eve.
In an interview with PUNCH, Jalingo stated that the Buhari government is afraid of Sowore due to his popularity and actions and so arrested and are reportedly maltreating him for no just reason.
The journalist alleged that the police arrested Sowore and kept him longer than the statutory number of days and still could not bring up a charge.
Jalingo opined that the government harasses innocent citizens who demand a better Nigeria but negotiates with Boko Haram members and bandits who slaughter scores of Nigerians at will.
He said prison officials moved from the Kuje prison to police custody on Tuesday because they were afraid he would incite other inmates at the facility. The activist, however, noted that Sowore is not the problem of Nigeria.
How can he be the problem of Nigeria, this government is just trying to shut the mouth of people that can speak up against this bad government and governance
How would he incite inmate when they were not charge with the same allegations? If the government is afraid of sowore then they should free him.
Federal government like to delay judgement they will just remand the person in the prison without taking him to the court which is not good at all.
There are so many things going wrong in the country because our leaders/government use to take law into their hands which is very bad than the person who committed the offense. It left to them to decide.
He has been arrested and has been charged to court, we will be looking out for the outcome of the case. Nothing for them to afraid of but they should just Free the man.
The problems of this country is the president himself….
