TRENDING: Juju Spiritual Leader Storms Abuja Court In Solidarity With Omoyele Sowore

 

At the time of filing this report, supporters of the activist were chanting anti-government songs in front of the court, Sahara Reporters Said.

 

There was a mild drama at the Wuse, Zone 2 Magistrate Court Abuja on Tuesday as a traditional spiritual leader dressed in full regalia accompanied human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore in solidarity.

 

The traditionalist was seen waving his horsewhip and gourd in the air while chanting ahead of the commencement of trial.

 

Court workers, journalists, policemen, and other visitors who were on the court premises were stunned by the development, while others burst into laughter.

 

As of the time of filing this report, supporters of the activist were chanting anti-government songs in front of the court.

 

Sowore was arrested alongside four others on New Year's Eve for organising a candlelight procession and charged for alleged criminal conspiracy, unlawful assembly, and inciting public disturbance.

The god of the Christians has failed them, it's now time to return back to what they are used to before the invasion of the whites. African gods no dey carry last at all

Maybe it's time to try a traditional worshipper for once and do with enough of the other religions scamming us in the name of God. Let's go traditional!

I was expecting you to condemn or challenged Gumi the negotiator and fake pastor @ProfOsinbajo deceiving your intelligence . What’s wrong with traditional or culture? Islam/Muslims/ Politicians/Elites/Christianity brought insurgent, Boko harams

If this headline had been from a foreign medium, then it'd be understandably right but an african newspaper doesn't know what to make of an african traditional religion adherent in his natural costume?

This is no news..... There are three major religions here i presume; would you have found faults in what a Christian Clergy man or an Islamic Cleric wore were they to be the ones that went with him to the court?
