Meta, owner of popular social media platform, Facebook has deactivated account of Human Rights Activist and Politician, Omoleye Sowore.
A check shows that Sowore’s account cannot be found again on Facebook after several attacks by him against Peter Obi, Labour Party’s presidential candidate in 2023.
While it’s not yet clear why Facebook deactivated the account, some of his followers have started to plead with Facebook to restore the account.
One of his supporters, Emmanuel Larry has pleaded and written to Facebook to restore the account.
According to Mr Larry, “Urgent Request for Account Reinstatement of Omoyele Sowore.”
“Dear Facebook SupportTeam,”
“I am reaching out to urgently request the immediate restoration of the Facebook account of Omoyele Sowore (@YeleSowore), a prominent Nigerian human rights advocate, journalist, and political figure.”
“His account was recently deactivated without any clear justification or prior notice of violations. We are deeply troubled by the possibility that this action may stem from political bias or external pressures, particularly from those unsettled by his outspoken commitment to justice and democratic change.”
” As a global platform, Meta/Facebook has a duty to safeguard free speech, not stifle it. The deactivation of Mr. Sowore’s account raises concerns about politically driven motives, which erodes the platform’s integrity as an impartial space for discourse and activism.”
We respectfully demand the following:
The prompt restoration of Omoyele Sowore’s Facebook account.
A clear and public explanation for the account’s deactivation.
A public assurance from Meta /Facebook to uphold political neutrality and protect the voices of human rights advocates.
“Suppressing an activist’s voice through account deactivation is tantamount to censorship. If this issue is not resolved promptly, we will pursue further action through legal, civic, and international channels.”
“Sincerely,

Troops of Operation ENDURING PEACE, OPEP, in collaboration with the Civilian Joint Task Force, CJTF, have arrested a suspected kidnapper linked to the abduction of a resident in Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
This was contained in a statement posted on X by the Nigerian Army.
The post identified the suspect as Buba Ali, 30, adding that he was arrested at about 12:45 pm on Sunday, August 9, at Binawa village in Kauru Local Government Area.
According to post, the suspect was arrested during a joint operation conducted by troops of Sector 7 OPEP and members of the CJTF.
It said the suspect was reportedly linked to the kidnapping of Alhaji Tasi, who was abducted in the village.
“Following his arrest, Ali was taken into custody and is currently being interrogated by security personnel.
“The ongoing investigation is focused on obtaining information that could lead to the identification and arrest of other members of the suspected kidnapping gang,” the Army said.
Nigerian ambassador to South Africa, Femi Fani-Kayode, has rejected claims by an Islamic scholar, Sheikh Yahaya Jingir, that Nigeria is a Muslim country.
In a viral video, Sheikh Jingir, who was preaching to Muslims at an event, said “if you don’t want to accept a Muslim-Muslim ticket, you should leave Nigeria because it belongs to us”.
The comment has continued to generate backlash online as Christians rejected the claim.
Reacting, Fani-kayode in a statement posted on his official X handle on Sunday night, said the cleric’s remark is unhelpful and untrue.
“Worse of all is the fact that it is highly provocative,” the former aviation minister said.
“Kindly take note that it is a very slippery and dangerous slope to take and is best avoided. Nigeria is NOT a Muslim country and neither is she a Christian country.
“She is a SECULAR and MULTI-RELIGIOUS state comprising BOTH Christians and Muslims in equal numbers and that is our strength,” FFK added.
He further stated that President Bola Tinubu’s Muslim/Muslim ticket for 2027 is gaining acceptance “only because of the calibre, ability, sincerity of purpose, character, utility and electoral strength of our Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates and their ability to deliver and not because they are Muslims”.
“One day we may have a Christian/Christian ticket too because with God all things are possible,” he added.
