If citizens are now being charged for insulting the president, what’s left of Nigeria’s democracy? Free Sowore already. This is beyond embarrassing. I don’t even remember any previous Nigerian dictator who charged any citizen for insulting him. Not even Buhari as a military ruler https://t.co/XoElLUVkmu

The DSS said Sowore collected foreign money from Dubai to overthrow @MBuhari govt, So na 16k dollars Sowore collect to overthrow govt. Who did we offend in this country? We are really a laughing stalk among nations.#FreeSoworeNow #RevolutionNow

This is a crazy joke taken too far. Omoyele Sowore has not done anything wrong. The Federal Goverment should release him immediately and unconditionally. https://t.co/yrCcOgfk9g

Sowore has been charged for insulting the president. I honestly don't want to believe we are this jobless. Trump called baba a lifeless president to his face remember?😪

One of the charges against Sowore was that he insulted the president.

A ruling party of "progressives" is mad that the President was insulted. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

No wonder @DoubleEph
Calls him spiritual leader.

I am 100% against the detention of Sowore. Without caveats. It's embarrassing for a Government to be so worried about what people say that they feel it is necessary to put them in Jail to silence them. He has done nothing except talk, and to talk is everybody's right.

“…the government accused Sowore of granting an interview which purpose caused insult on the person of the president of the country.”

You guys are not alright inside that Villa. Seriously? Next thing may be accusing Buhari’s critics of blasphemy. 😂 https://t.co/dcwi3A8XVv
