Human rights activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has instituted a ₦500 million lawsuit against the Nigeria Police Force, Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun, and the Lagos State Commissioner of Police Moshood Jimoh. This lawsuit was filed following a public declaration by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police on November 3, 2025, naming Sowore as a “wanted person” without any prior invitation, warrant, or charge issued against him. Sowore is seeking enforcement of his constitutional rights to dignity, liberty, and freedom of movement, claiming the police actions violated these rights and unlawfully damaged his reputation. He also seeks court orders restraining the police from further harassment or intimidation and to set aside the “wanted” declaration.
