Amnesty International Nigeria has weighed in on the arrest of Sahara Reporters founder, Omoyele Sowore, urging Nigerian authorities to respect his fundamental right and follow due process.
The International body in a tweet sought that Sowore be released immediately if he is not charged for any offence. The tweet says: “Amnesty International is concerned about arrest of Omoyele Sowore @YeleSowore by DSS operatives. We urge the authorities to respect his rights and follow due process. If not charged for any offence, he should be released immediately.“This, however, did not go down well with majority of the social media platform users as they fired back at the body for leading Sowore on to disturb the peace of the nation.See reactions below:
