The Nigeria Police Force has back-tracked and indefinitely postponed their earlier invitation to former presidential candidate and human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore.
Naijaonpoint reports that the Police had summoned Sowore for scheduled interview over allegations of forgery and inciting public disturbance.
They had earlier invited Mr Sowore to appear before the Inspector-General of Police Monitoring Unit in Abuja on Monday, for questioning regarding a case, which they claimed, was reported on 31st July with Sowore’s prominently featuring in it.
However, the Police have now postponed the appointment without fixing a new date.
In a message shared by Sowore on Saturday evening, the police said the meeting had been deferred due to the unavailability of the Head of the Monitoring Unit, Deputy Commissioner of Police Akin Fakorede, who has been assigned to an “urgent national assignment” in the North-east.
“Please be informed that your meeting with DCP Akin Fakorede, Head of IGP Monitoring Unit, slated for Monday, 4th August 2025, has been postponed,” the message from Hafiz Garba, the investigating officer, read.
“This is due to the unavailability of the Head on that date, as he will be attending to an urgent national assignment in the North East. A new date will be fixed and you will be notified accordingly.”
