<p>The Nigeria Police Force has firmly refuted widespread claims that Mr. Omoyele Sowore was tortured or subjected to inhuman treatment while in custody, describing the allegations as “equally false and grossly misleading.” This clarification was issued by the Force Public Relations Officer, Deputy Commissioner of Police Olumuyiwa Adejobi, in response to what the Police termed a “wave of disinformation” surrounding Sowore’s recent arrest.</p><div class="1ublcChm" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>According to the Police, Mr. Sowore was lawfully arrested based on credible allegations involving forgery, cyberstalking, and other offences currently under investigation. The arrest, they emphasized, was conducted in full compliance with legal procedures and constitutional safeguards. Sowore was released on bail within the constitutionally mandated 48-hour window, as stipulated in Section 35(4) of the 1999 Constitution.</p>

<p>Addressing viral images showing Sowore with a bandaged arm, the Police clarified that the bandage was part of his personal belongings prior to his arrest. Nonetheless, the Inspector-General of Police ordered an internal investigation to determine how he accessed it during detention, especially after Sowore declined medical examinations offered by independent Police medical teams on two separate occasions August 7 and 8, 2025.</p>
<p>The Force reiterated its zero-tolerance policy for torture, citing the Anti-Torture Act of 2017 and Nigeria’s international human rights obligations. It also stressed that Sowore’s detention was not arbitrary but backed by a valid remand order from a competent court.</p><div class="8e1imbbX" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>In a strong appeal to the media and civil society, the Police urged responsible reporting and warned against sensationalism driven by personal vendettas. They reaffirmed their commitment to human rights, the rule of law, and impartial justice, stating that no individual is above the law.</p>
