The Nigeria Police Force has arrested Marshal Abubakar, a
lawyer to the Convener of Revolution Now and presidential candidate, Omoyele
Sowore. Marshal is a lawyer attached to Femi Falana Chambers in Abuja.
The activist made this known via his Facebook page on
Friday.
According to the Sahara Reporters‘ publisher, Abubakar was
forcefully arrested.
“Marshal DF Abubakar was trailed to his home and forcefully arrested because he was accused of defending me.
“They claimed he embarrassed the police by suing them and
Ned Nwoko on my behalf,” he said.
Recall that Sowore was arrested and detained on Thursday
24th February in Abuja following a petition by a former House of
Representatives member and businessman, Prince Ned Nwoko. He was later released
in the night on Thursday.
Nwoko had petitioned the Nigeria Police Force against Sowore
for criminal defamation, injurious falsehood publication of news known to be
false contrary to section 391, 392, 393, 394, 395, and 418 of the Penal code of
Northern Nigeria.
