WHAT A WAY TO END THE SABBATH DAY HOLY! I was in IRT Abuja this evening with @YeleSowore to see a detainee, Olumide Ogunsanwo @seaking303 (Speaking) who is in police custody. Before we left, Omoyele Sowore asked him what he needed. He said he needed to buy loaves of bread for co-inmates to quench their hunger and he also complained he had been wearing one shirt since he was arrested and brought from Lagos. I immediately stood up, hoping to get some shirts for him outside the police yard, but Omoyele Sowore said he would pull his undershirt for him and when we step out, he would get another. I thought it was a joke. He took it off immediately in the presence of onlooking officers who could not hide their astonishment and handed the shirt over to Olumide Ogunsanwo (Seaking). And it was a Sunday...which the Bible called the Sabbath day and decreed we must keep it holy.. What a way to live a Jesus-like holy life?

Gani Freed! Not broken... Leaving the FCID, Abuja now with @YeleSowore

NO PRESSURE AT ALL. IT IS SMOOTH FOR US! Our fear of these oppressors is our weak point and their strong point. Once they perceive our fearlessness, they shiver and lose hold We must keep the memories here for the coming generation, so that it will not be said of us, that we did fight in our own time.

With @YeleSowore at Abuja earlier today. As we close the night from this end, No pressure, no tension... Except for those who love to use paracetamol for others' headache...

Happy new month

SOWORE: No longer resistance to arrest by not parking at Lagos airport road. Now Cyberstalking. Investigation after charge!

Sowore is smart, too smart. The question that changed refusal to park for police to Cyberstalking is: Where did I stop to park, I don't drive! #FreeSoworeNow

SOWORE'S REJECTION OF POLICE BAIL CONDITION TO DEPOSIT HIS INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT IS IN LINE WITH THE CONSTITUTION. Section 36(5) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) says everybody who is charged with a criminal offence shall be presumed to be innocent until he is proved guilty. Section 41 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) guarantees the right to freedom of movement and the right to freedom of movement includes the right to leave and enter Nigeria. SECTION 30 and 31 of the ADMINISTRATION OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE ACT 2015 obligates the Police to release persons arrested or under investigation on bail before INQUIRY or INVESTIGATION is completed. In all these, in court bail is a discretion, which the trial judge must exercise judicially and judiciously, based on the nature of the case and other material evidence before the court and this is why the Court can give conditions such as deposit or submission of international passport. During investigation, bail by police is not discretionary, rather it is an entitlement. It is unconstitutional therefore for the police to give a bail condition, such as submission of international passport. International Passport is one of the means of exercising constitutional right to freedom of movement. For someone under mere inquiry or investigation therefore to be given such bail condition, before filing a charge, is tantamount to taking away the constitutionally guaranteed right of the person under investigation.

MUST WATCH: Society is not living up to it’s standards, judiciary is part of society, that’s why you see a Reverend father suddenly becomes a father somewhere in secrecy

SENIOR LAWYER OF THE MASSES AWARD! Honoured this afternoon of this Friday, the 17rh of January , 2025, with the award of the SENIOR LAWYER OF THE MASSES by the Adekunle Ajasin University Students' Union. In something very historical and significant, as I stepped into the Nelson Mandela Hall of the University this afternoon to personally accept this honour, I reflect and reckon that this award is beyond a personal recognition of personal contribution but a testament to the fact that the contributions of myself and the generation of human rights advocates and activists whom I proudly represent is somewhat gaining acceptance of the people as we continue in our struggle towards a just society where the rights and dignity of citizens will mean something to those in position of authority.

Centuries passed, but the Church came back to acknowledge that Galileo was right after all. On Farotimi's iconoclastic collision with those who rule the earth now, the time ticks... Tope Temokun December 19, 2025. 12:20 pm.
