Socio-political activist Aisha Yesufu on Tuesday joked that Sahara Reporters publisher Omoyele Sowore is mad following the latter’s appearance in court on Tuesday.
Sowore stormed the premises of a magistrate court sitting in Wuse Zone 2, Abuja with a supporter dressed as a native doctor.
The #RevolutionNow convener shared pictures of his arrival in court on Twitter with the title of Ola Rotimi’s book The Gods are Not to Blame as caption.
Reacting in a Twitter post of her own, Yesufu said Sowore is mad man and asking him what he was doing.
Court workers, journalists, policemen, and other visitors were stunned at the presence of Sowore’s ‘native doctor’, with many breaking out in laughter.
Sowore is standing trial along with others over allegation of unlawful assembly and incitement, following a protest in the Abuja.
He was arrested alongside four others on New Year’s Eve for organising a candlelight procession in Abuja.
The prosecution alleges that the defendants called for a violent revolution against President Muhammadu Buhari.
Aisha is a co-convener of the Bring Back Our Girls movement, an advocacy group that brings attention to the abduction of over 200 girls from a secondary school in Chibok, Nigeria, on 14 April 2014, by the terrorist group Boko Haram.
She was also very vocal during the #EndSARS protest in 2020.
