Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore insisted that his lawyer accompany him as operatives of the Nigeria Police Force escorted him from the Federal High Court in Abuja.
Recall that the activist, who was at the court on Thursday to meet with Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, was arrested on the court premises.
Although officers in the video could be heard saying that the activist was not being arrested, they said the Commissioner of Police “said we should bring you to the office.” Sowore questioned why no letter of invitation had been issued.
He insisted that his lawyer be allowed to accompany him to the Commissioner’s office, saying:
“You said the Commissioner of Police said you should arrest me by force? You didn’t bring any letter of invitation. You have to take me with my lawyer. You know we have to stand for you when they oppress you, but since you are standing for oppression, no problem.”The officers granted Sowore’s request, and they left the court premises for the Commissioner’s office.
