Court Issues Final Warning to Sowore After Claiming Tinubu Is ‘Mortally Afraid’

The Federal High Court has given activist Omoyele Sowore a final warning after he described President Tinubu as “mortally afraid.” The judge threatened to close his defence if he repeats disparaging remarks against the president. Sowore must now choose between toning down his comments or risking the loss of his right to defend himself in court.

Do you think the court's warning will actually stop Sowore from speaking out against Tinubu?

What legal teeth does this warning really have to silence him?

It's interesting that this warning comes right after Sowore's claim of Tinubu being 'mortally afraid', almost like punishment for free speech.

Threatening to close defence over speech feels excessive; even critics with strong words often get more lenient treatment.

Better make activists sabi court limits before speaking too freely, then nobody go lose defence rights later.
