The Presidency has issued a stern warning to human rights
activist, Omoyele Sowore, against using protests to influence judicial
proceedings.
Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public
Communication, Sunday Dare, gave the warning on Monday, saying matters of
justice are resolved in courtrooms, not through public agitation.
In a post on his verified X handle, Dare was reacting to
#FreeNnamdiKanu protest in Abuja led by Sowore, describing such demonstrations
as counterproductive and inimical to the rule of law.
“Protests, threats, attempts at mob actions, and
inflammatory rhetoric do not aid the judicial process. Instead, they hinder it,
creating unnecessary tension and undermining the rule of law.
“Justice must come through courts, not street protests over
Nnamdi Kanu.You cannot employ protest and civil unrest to demand the release of
someone accused of terrorism and whose case is still in court. Not even in
America,” Dare said.
The presidential aide further explained that the case of
leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, long
predates President Bola Tinubu’s administration and remains strictly under
judicial consideration.
