Sowore Slams Adekunle Gold for Jailing Netizen Over False Twitter Claims

Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has criticised singer Adekunle Gold and his wife, Simi, for pursuing legal action that saw a young social media user jailed for over two years. Sowore argues the singer could have moved on instead of involving police and prosecutors over three lines on Twitter. He recalls his own experience of quickly verifying false reports about his family without pressing charges. He condemned what he called a misuse of power, saying Nigerians protest oppression until they “get small power” and become worse. Sowore’s comments have sparked debate about freedom of speech and celebrity influence.
