Omoyele Sowore released after arrest at Lagos airport
Omoyele Sowore, the African Action Congress’s presidential candidate for 2023, was freed shortly after his apprehension.
As previously reported, Sowore was taken into custody early on Sunday at the Murtala Muhammad International Airport located in Ikeja, Lagos State.
“I had just landed in Nigeria from the United States at MMIA in Lagos,” he said. “When I got to Nigerian Immigration, my passport was confiscated, and they informed me they had a warrant to hold me.”
“This is not unexpected because I have always known that it is part of the broader clampdown by the fascist @officialAbat regime on dissent and their fear of the upcoming #FearlessINOctober revolt.
“In case this becomes another prolonged and protracted detention, I urge our citizens to ensure they ALL stop tyranny by all means acceptable and necessary, by engaging in the planned series of direct actions slated for 1 October and beyond.”
His flight left Washington Dulles International Airport at 6.14 EDT and arrived in Lagos at around 9.43am.
On Thursday, 12 September 2024, a DSS memo ordering the arrest of Sowore upon his arrival in Nigeria was leaked.
However, in a post via his official X handle, Sowore disclosed that he had been released by the Nigerian Immigration Service and his passport had been released to him after it was earlier confiscated.
He wrote, “I have just been released by the Nigerian Immigration after a brief detention and my passport released back to me.”
