Sowore Attacked, Injured
Armed men on Friday reportedly attacked and momentarily abducted Omoyele Sowore, the Presidential Candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), in Ekiti State.
The incident reportedly occurred on Friday, October 30, 2026, although details surrounding the circumstances of the alleged abduction remain unclear.
However, Sowore has since returned to social media to give his own side of the story.
About an hour ago, he tweeted: “The Ekiti State Police Command and the @OfficialDSSNG have seized the CCTV footage from the owner of the restaurant where we were brutally attacked in Ado-Ekiti. The attackers were captured on camera, and we’ve now learnt that the police and DSS are attempting to suppress this crucial evidence to shield those responsible. But we already know them!”
This was following an earlier tweet in which he wrote:
“The Commissioner of @PoliceNG in Ekiti State, CP Falade Adegoroye Michael, personally visited the scene of the brutal attack against us in Ado-Ekiti today. He saw firsthand the extensive injuries we sustained, yet he has the audacity to issue a despicable statement describing a coordinated, violent attack as a mere ‘altercation.’
“THERE WAS NO ALTERCATION! WE WERE ATTACKED!
“The Commissioner saw the injuries, witnessed the aftermath of the violence, and was fully aware of the seriousness of what happened. Yet his Command has chosen to trivialize the attack, even describing the injuries as “minor.”
“No wonder allegations have emerged that the Commissioner of Police himself was involved. This is despicable!
“Video shows the CP leaving the emergency room after observing the extensive injuries.”
