The 2023 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore, has confirmed that he will honour an invitation from the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Monitoring Unit for questioning at the Force Headquarters, Abuja, on Wednesday.

Naijaonpoint reports that Sowore disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday, following a letter from the police unit rescheduling his appointment.

According to the letter, dated August 5 and signed by the Head of IGP Monitoring Unit, DCP Akin Fakorede, Sowore is expected to appear before investigators on August 6, 2025, at 11:30 am.

The letter read, “I refer to your letter dated August 5, 2025, on the above subject matter and respectfully notify your client Mr. Omoyele Sowore that based on his request for rescheduling of appointment, a new date, August 6, 2025, by 11.30 am has been scheduled for his interview with the Head of IGP Monitoring Unit.

“A copy of the petition, which is the subject matter of police investigation, will be availed to your client physically when he honours the invite, in line with Police Standard Investigation Procedure.”

Reacting to the development, Sowore alleged a “sinister plan” in the handling of the petition against him, claiming that the police had yet to disclose the identity of the complainant or details of the allegations.

He said, “The IGP Monitoring Unit has scheduled my interview for tomorrow (Wednesday) at 11:00 am, yet they have refused to provide a copy of the purported petition against me.”

Despite his concerns, the Sahara Reporters publisher vowed to attend the meeting but noted that he would not go alone.

“I will honour the invitation, but not alone. I will be going with a full house. To all our revolutionary comrades, as always, we move together. Let every freedom fighter, every citizen of conscience, every voice of resistance assemble early tomorrow at the Nigeria Police Force Headquarters in Abuja,” Sowore stated.
