Police Allegedly Break Sowore’s Arm, Secretly Transfer Him From Abuja Detention to Undisclosed Location

Voice of the people -

In a disturbing turn of events, Nigerian human rights activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has reportedly suffered police brutality while in detention in Abuja. According to multiple verified sources, Sowore's arm was allegedly broken by officers who forcefully removed him from the Force Intelligence Department (FID) in the early hours of August 7, 2025.


Sowore had earlier honored a revised police invitation on August 6, 2025, over allegations linked to forgery and criminal defamation. However, instead of following due legal procedures, officers—reportedly led by a Chief Superintendent of Police—allegedly used excessive force during his removal from detention. It was gathered that the activist resisted being moved without being properly dressed, which escalated the situation, resulting in physical injury.


Eyewitness accounts suggest that Sowore’s broken arm was left untreated as he was hurriedly moved to an undisclosed location without any formal statement issued to his legal team or the public. The lack of transparency surrounding his current whereabouts has sparked widespread concerns among civil rights advocates and citizens across Nigeria.


As of the time of this report, no official police statement has been released regarding the alleged assault or his current condition.


Growing Public Outrage


The incident has reignited conversations about police brutality, press freedom, and the suppression of political dissent in Nigeria. Several human rights groups and supporters of Sowore are already calling for his immediate release and an independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding his arrest and alleged mistreatment.


More updates will follow as the situation develops.



Author’s Note:

As the voice of the people, I must speak up when injustice strikes at the very fabric of our democracy. Omoyele Sowore’s case demands accountability, transparency, and urgent action from all stakeholders in the fight for human rights and freedom of expression.
