Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore resists being taken into custody after an Abuja Federal High Court orders his remand at Kuje Correctional Centre. According to reports, the dispute occurs on court premises as operatives attempt to transport him after the detention order. Multiple outlets describe a tense exchange captured in a video circulating online, in which Sowore refuses to board what he calls the “Black Maria,” a term commonly used for vehicles used for detainee transport. The outlets link the detention order to allegations involving cyberstalking of President Bola Tinubu. They report that Sowore’s refusal delays or complicates efforts to move him from the court area to Kuje Correctional Centre. The coverage focuses on the confrontation between Sowore and operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) following the court ruling, and on the emergence of video footage showing Sowore’s resistance. The reports do not add new details about the underlying charges beyond referencing the cyberstalking allegation and the court’s remand order.
