Sowore Fires Back at SAN in Abuja Court: 'You Can't Intimidate Me'

He stressed that court proceedings demand strict decorum. Sowore countered that no law prohibits addressing the press before the judge arrives. The heated exchange drew the attention of lawyers and court staff. This incident highlights wider debates in Nigeria on activism, freedom of expression, and adherence to courtroom protocol.
