The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress in the 2023 election, Omoyele Sowore has lamented the continuous harassment and what he called violation of rights by Nigerian Immigration Service.
Sowore agitated that Nigerian Immigration Service barred him from leaving the country because his name is on their watchlist.
He disclosed this in a statement and video shared on X.com on Friday.
Sowore stated that he was being subjected to harassment and violation of his rights.
He wrote, “The Nigerian Immigration Service #nigimmigration continues to subject me to unwarranted harassment and abuse. Violating my rights repeatedly.
I can never be silenced – Sowore
Sowore arrested on arrival in Nigeria
“Today, again, they stopped me on my way out of Nigeria, claiming I am placed on their WATCHLIST!”
The video showed Sowore questioning an officer of the Immigration Service, requesting to see their superior.
Recall that in September Sowore was arrested at Murtala Muhammad International Airport in Ikeja, Lagos State.
He disclosed that upon his arrival, he was detained by the NIS and his international passport was confiscated.
