Nigerian Police Issues arrest warrant against Sahara Reporters Publisher, Omoyele Sowore

According to reports, Abuja command of the Nigerian Police has issued a Warrant of arrest against Mr Omoyele Sowore of Sahara reporters.

The publisher of SR has been issued the warrant over the petition sent to the Inspector General of Police by Senator Dino Melaye representing Kogi West.

Senator Melaye had complained of threat to his life as a result of Sowore's cyber-stalking which is punishable under the Nigerian law.

He said since the malicious and libelous publication against him over the claim by Sowore that he did not graduate from the Ahmadu Bello University, that false report has caused him severe public embarrassment.

The Vice Chancellor of ABU confirmed before the Senate Committee that Dino graduated from ABU in 2000 but Sowore still went ahead to further his malicious post on Facebook, disparaging the Vice Chancellor and the institution.

The Police said that there are other petitions written against Sowore in line with his stock in propaganda trade which the police has not made public.

The Police issued the warrant of arrest to invite Sowore for questioning.
