The arrest of Very Dark Man, allegedly for cyberbullying, has drawn sharp criticism from Sowore, who argues that the police are abusing their power under the guise of the Cybercrime Act. He points to a pattern of suppression, citing the recent arrest of another social media influencer, Chizorom Ofoegbu, as evidence of a broader effort to stifle dissenting voices.
In a scathing rebuke, Sowore accuses the police of colluding with influential figures to silence those who dare to criticize the status quo. He paints a grim picture of a system rife with corruption and injustice, where fundamental rights are trampled upon for the benefit of the powerful few.
Sowore's impassioned plea for the immediate release of Very Dark Man and others detained under the Cybercrime Act resonates deeply with supporters who fear a return to the repressive tactics of the past. His reference to the #EndSARS movement serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of unchecked police brutality and censorship.
As tensions escalate, the spotlight falls on the Nigerian authorities to uphold the principles of democracy and ensure that freedom of speech is protected. Sowore's relentless advocacy serves as a beacon of hope for those who refuse to be silenced in the face of oppression.
In the midst of uncertainty, voices like Sowore's remind us of the enduring power of dissent and the importance of standing up for what is right, even in the face of adversity. The outcome of this ongoing struggle will not only shape the future of free speech in Nigeria but also serve as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of tyranny.
