Sowore Says Police Declared Him Wanted Over Failed ‘Shoot on Sight’ Order
Activist and politician, Omoyele Sowore, has said he was declared wanted by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Moshood Jimoh, because officers failed to carry out a “shoot on sight” order allegedly issued by the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun.
Sowore made this known in a post on X on Monday while reacting to the police declaration accusing him of disturbing public peace.
He wrote: “The Lagos Police Commissioner, Moshood Jimoh, has reportedly declared me ‘wanted’ for ‘disturbance of public peace’, allegedly as a result of his officers’ inability to execute a ‘shoot on sight’ order given by his illegal IGP, Kayode Egbetokun in Oworonsoki today.
“Despite my repeated attempts to contact Nigeria Police Force @PoliceNG Commissioner Jimoh, he has not taken my calls; nevertheless, I plan to meet with him soon to address his declaration. #RevolutionNow.”
