Peter Ameh has criticised the continued detention of activist Omoyele Sowore, arguing that Nigeria’s justice system applies the law inconsistently.
Reacting to the case, Ameh expressed concern over what he described as unequal enforcement of justice, claiming that violent crimes often receive less urgent attention than civil or political cases.
He questioned the priorities of security agencies, saying, “They cut head of teachers on camera, DSS no see that one, na to sleep for court them sabi.”
Ameh warned that the perceived selective application of justice could erode public confidence in the rule of law and weaken democratic institutions if not addressed.
He argued that individuals involved in violent crimes should be held accountable with the same urgency applied in politically sensitive cases, adding that unequal treatment fuels distrust among citizens.
The call to “Free Sowore” has continued to attract attention on social media, with supporters arguing that the issue raises broader concerns about fundamental rights, freedom of expression and the state of Nigeria’s democracy.
