The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore has accused the Nigerian police of holding a secret trial for Seun Kuti.
Speaking via a tweet on Thursday morning, the human rights activist alleged that the Nigerian secretly took Kuti without informing his lawyers.
He wrote, “@policeng secretly took Seun Kuti before the Chief Magistrate, Mrs. Adeola Olatunbosun today without informing his lawyers. The Magistrate reportedly granted police request to extend their investigation time for four more days.
The reason was to ensure @RealSeunKuti is prevented from resuming his #GETTHESAX Summer Tour which was billed to start on May 20, 2023 in Calvia, Spain. This was never about getting justice but to exact maximum revenge. #Revolutionnow.”
It would be recalled that Sowore was the one who informed the Nigeria police of Seun’s willingness to appear at the commissioner of police’s office, as a way of cooperating with them in their investigations of what transpired on the third mainland bridge, that led to the assault on an officer of the law.
