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

On Tuesday, Omoyele Sowore squared off with a Senior Advocate of Nigeria at the Federal High Court in Abuja just before his cyberstalking trial. The SAN challenged Sowore for speaking to journalists inside the courtroom, saying he had never seen such conduct in over three decades of legal practice. 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.

What impact do you think Sowore's defiance in court will have on public trust in our justice system?

I see your concern—when you say 'public trust', are you asking about confidence in judges or belief in fair trial processes?

It's interesting that a SAN would worry more about courtroom interviews than the charges of alleged cyberstalking against Sowore.

I'm not convinced his outburst inside court really strengthens his case or public image at all.

Lawyers and defendants should focus on courtroom decorum to avoid distracting publicity overshadowing the real legal arguments at hand.
