The authorities have also been told to be on the look out as Sowore might also be trying to escape into the community of his foreign sponsors like Nnamdi Kanu, using a court permit for foreign treatment.
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has punctured the reports that Omoyele Sowore, publisher of Sahara Reporters was shot in Abuja.
The DEFENDER, on Monday, had reported reactions of some patriotic Nigerians, who asked questions to determine the authenticity of the claims in the more visibly coordinated media reports that were said to have taken their information from the claimant, Sowore, a known “dramatist” acting self negative scripts such incidents to instigate civil unrest against a President his multitudes have failed to defeat in an election.
Reacting to the allegations that Sowore was shot, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the FCT, ASP Mariam Yusuf, said there is no record of such an incident.
She said Police operatives had professionally restored calm at the Unity Fountain following attempts by a group of protesters to incite public disturbance.
She said the protesters were resisted by police operatives to ensure there was no breakdown of law and order.
She enjoined FCT residents to remain calm and law-abiding and pledged the commitment of the command to protect lives and property within the FCT.
The authorities have also been told to be on the look out as Sowore might also be trying to escape into the community of his foreign sponsors like Nnamdi Kanu, using a court permit for foreign treatment.
“If truly this guy Sowore had faked his shooting blaming the police, he must be arrested and charged for misinformation among other offences. In the meantime, hold him tight and don’t allow any unpatriotic judge make him slip away into any foreign land. He will do worse than Nnamdi Kanu,” one of the respondents said.
