The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has initiated legal action against activist Omoyele Sowore over comments he made on social media, referring to Egbetokun as an “illegal IG.”
Sowore is facing three charges related to cybercrime under the Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention, ETC) Act, 2015, as amended in 2024.
According to the charges, Egbetokun accused Sowore of intentionally and knowingly sending messages through his verified Twitter account, where he referred to the IG as “illegal IGP Kayode Egbetokun.”
The police allege that these publications were false and aimed at causing a breakdown of law and order and undermining the authority of the police.
