Prominent human rights activist and African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has been kidnapped by armed thugs in Ekiti State, with his current whereabouts unknown.
According to a post from his verified X account seen by Truth Live News International on Friday afternoon, it was posted, “Armed thugs kidnap Sowore. His current location is unknown!”
Details remain scarce. No independent confirmation from the Nigeria Police Force, Ekiti State government, or major news outlets has emerged as of early afternoon Friday. There is no official statement identifying the alleged perpetrators, the exact location of the incident within Ekiti, or any ongoing rescue or investigation efforts.
Sowore, the founder of Sahara Reporters and a long-time critic of successive Nigerian administrations, has faced repeated arrests, detentions, and confrontations with security agencies over the years. Supporters often describe such incidents in dramatic terms, while authorities have typically framed past actions against him as lawful enforcement related to protests or alleged public order violations.
