Don Jazzy, Adekunle Gold, Omojuwa, others react to the new charges against Omoyele Sowore

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

Content: the government accused Sowore of granting an interview which purpose caused insult on the person of the president of the country | Tighten your hope please. If at your age you couldn’t comprehend this, what hope for humanity? https://t.co/AZXXYqpqcs

This dangerous precedent of stifling opposition voices and dissenting opinions has survived enough. Let's not pretend our nascent democracy isn't being sabotaged when citizens shudder at the thought of people they elected into power.

It’s really sad to watch. The young man means well for our Dear Nigeria. Who is next? I plead for Sowore #FreeSowore

Just reading about the charges against Sowore. If he is being charged and detained for insulting the President, then the entire Nation should be in jail. Americans should all be in jail for insulting Trump too then. What a joke of a democratic system.

I really don't want to believe those fictional charges against Sowore. Treasonable what? A fucking Joke.

This Sowore issue is just funny.

How does the government of a nation charge an individual for insulting president lol.

Is this a military or democratic system?

Sowore knew the lengths to which this government will go to destroy a person's reputation. He used his SR platform to help them do just that. He knew the dangers of dissent beforehand, but chose the way of selective amnesia. When you eat with the devil, use a very long spoon.

Sowore was one of the powers that brought Buhari in 2015. He used his Sahara reporters to insult former president Goodluck Jonathan. He published false and malicious contents against Jonathan. He called Jonathan so many names.

We have a provision in Nigeria's legal system that enables the government to charge a Citizen for ‘insulting @NGRPresident'? Can lawyers clarify, please? When was this law promulgated? Can it be expunged? how come no one noticed it's existence?… https://t.co/zVzzsPwju8
