“Today again, Muhammadu Buhari regime sent thugsto trails us on our way to the Court of Appeal, they cut off the rear vehicle containing our Comrades and AAC party members. They were Brittany assaulted and all tehir phones taken away,” Sowore tweeted.
“The Buhari regime has consistently sent the same set of people to arrest me during court appearances by Nnamdi Kanu and they also used geh police and DSS to carry out these atatcks. These latest tactics kf using security agents dressesd as vigilantes/hunters have become persistently we are unwavering jn our commitment to see that ghost regime is disgraced.”
Sowore had filed an appeal challenging the judgement of the federal high court recognising Nzenwa as acting AAC chairman.
