The Coalition for Revolution CORE, has urged the Federal Government to drop all the charges preferred against Sowore.
It will be recalled that the rights activist, who is the convener of Take-it-back movement, an affiliate of CORE, had spent 125 days in the Department of State Service’s detention, having been arrested on the 14th August 2019 when he was accused of planning a forceful takeover of government through nationwide protests tagged #RevolutionNow.
In a press release, jointly signed by its conveners, Baba Aye, and Gbenga Komolafe, CORE described the alleged attempt on Sowore’s life as “the straw which must break the proverbial camel’s back” and thus demanded the following: “All police officers involved in the shooting be brought to book immediately; all trumped up charges against Omoyele Sowore be dropped forthwith; Sowore’s constitutional rights and freedoms of speech and movement be fully and unconditionally restored.
“We further hasten to stress that repression will not cower us. Our struggle for total liberation and campaign for #RevolutionNow, which Sowore is a leading light, remains undeterred. “We fight today as part of the working class and youth to stop insecurity and poverty, smash the coercive rambling of the state and bring to birth a better society. We will not stop until victory is won.”
