The police later filed a 16-count charge of cybercrime against him.
In one of the charges, the police accused Sowore of using his X handle on December 20, 2024, to refer to Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun as “the illegal IG of Nigeria Police Force.”
The police further claimed that Sowore posted a picture of Egbetokun with the caption: “Mediocrity, incompetence, corruption, a country run by characterless people can not make progress.”
Sowore is also accused of posting on his X handle, “IGP Kayode Egbetokun will destroy the Nigeria police if we don’t act now.”
He pleaded not guilty to the 16 counts of alleged cybercrime.
