Update: Sowore Steps In, Vows to Secure Blord’s Release From Detention

Omoyele Sowore has entered the ongoing Blord case, calling for his immediate release from detention at Kuje Correctional Centre.

The activist made his position clear in a public statement. He rejected the idea of celebrating incarceration and described the situation as a concern for human rights and justice.

His intervention adds a new layer to a case that has already drawn wide attention across Nigeria.


Why Sowore Intervened

Sowore said no individual should be celebrated for being in detention.

He argued that pre trial detention should not be used in a way that appears punitive. His concern focuses on the broader implication for civil rights.
His words "I have read about the court-ordered detention of an individual known as B-Lord, and I must say this clearly that no one should celebrate the incarceration of any person under the color of law.

I have reached out to my astute rights lawyer, Marshal D F Abubakar, urging him to disengage from the process.

We must all agree that sending B-Lord to prison is not a victory for legal brilliance or advocacy. Rather, it risks emboldening a system of oppression that weaponizes the law against citizens.

Justice must never be reduced to punishment for its own sake. I will work to ensure this case is discontinued and B-Lord is released without further delay."

Key points from his stance:

Detention should not replace due process
Justice must remain fair and balanced
Legal systems should not be used to intimidate

His comments shift the conversation from the dispute itself to how the law is applied.
