Sowore faults police over arrest of Tiktoker
Nigerian lawyer and activist, Omoyele Sowore, has faulted Nigerian police for re-arresting a controversial Tiktoker, Olumide Ogunsanwo over alleged cyberbullying of Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God.
Ogunsanwo, better known as Seaking as reportedly arrested afer a petition was submitted by one Paul James Adama, representing a Christian association, on behalf Adeboye.
In a statement on his Twitter page, said he went to the Federal Investigation Department (FID) of the Nigeria Police Force, where he was told that Ogunsawo’s re-arrest was resulted from alleged cyberbullying against Pastor Adeboye.
He wrote: “According to them, one Paul James Adama, using the name of one “Christian association or group” affiliated with Police PPRO Adejobi Olumuyiwa@Princemoye1 submitted a “petition” to their office on behalf of the @RccQ General Overseer. We asked how a TikTok video by @seaking303 could bully or frighten a whole General Overseer protected by heavenly angels and worldly security agencies , they quickly ask that “we go and come back” after Jumat prayers but apparently they have no plan to free him from their unjust custody.”
The activist, however, questioned how a TikTok video could be considered bullying to Pastor Adeboye, who is prominent and “protected by heavenly angels and worldly security agencies.”
He said Nigeria’s challenges have contributed to the decline of the police force and the erosion of trust between law enforcement and the public.
