Sowore Responds to Police, Addresses Viral Airport Road Video in Abuja

The Nigeria Police Force has reportedly launched a search for activist and former AAC presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, after a video of his encounter with officers at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport Access Road went viral.

In the video, shared on Sowore’s social media pages, he is seen confronting police officers stationed on the busy road. He urged them to stop actions that were causing unnecessary traffic, drawing attention to the situation. The clip quickly caught the internet’s attention, sparking debates and reactions from the public.

Amid reports of a police manhunt, Sowore responded through his X handle on Wednesday night, maintaining a calm and confident tone. He wrote, “I have been informed that the Nigeria Police Force is searching for me. I am currently in Abuja and available at their convenience.”

Unbothered by the situation, Sowore hinted at his optimism for the new year, adding, “It appears that the new year is about to start on a positive note! #RevolutionNow.” His statement underscores his determination and unwavering stance on government accountability.

The incident has drawn significant public attention, with many questioning why the police would reportedly pursue Sowore for merely advocating better traffic management. Sowore, well-known for his bold criticism of government policies, remains committed to promoting transparency and justice.

As of now, the Nigeria Police Force has not released any official statement about the alleged search or the viral video. The situation remains a hot topic, with many Nigerians closely following updates.
