#NigeriaDecides2027: I wasn’t kidnapped, I escaped from the scene – Omoyele Sowore

Nigerian activist and African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has accused suspected political thugs of attacking him and members of his campaign team in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State. Sowore says the incident was a deliberate assault, while the Ekiti State Police Command rejects claims that he was kidnapped, describing the confrontation as an altercation at a restaurant. The police say officers rescued him and provided medical assistance, while Commissioner Falade Adegoroye Michael has ordered an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident. On Politics HQ, we examine the conflicting accounts, the allegations against security officials and the wider implications for political freedom and campaign security in Nigeria. Who was responsible for the confrontation, can the police establish what happened, and are political actors adequately protected as Nigeria prepares for the 2027 general elections?
