Today’s events at the NYSC Headquarters and later at the Force Headquarters, Abuja, have once again exposed the deceitful antics of Mr. Omoyele Sowore.
Contrary to his loud and dramatic claims that a police officer broke his hand, Sowore was seen moving around freely, gesturing without restriction, a clear indication that his so-called “broken hand” was nothing but a calculated fabrication.

It is now obvious that Sowore deliberately concocted this story to mislead the public, whip up undue sympathy, and avoid lawful detention.
His aim was to paint the Nigeria Police Force in bad light and to derail ongoing legal processes against him.
Unfortunately, in doing so, he dragged well-meaning Nigerians, including respected figures like Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and several civil society organisations — into believing his falsehood.
Such tactics are not only dishonest but dangerous to the integrity of public discourse. Freedom of speech does not give anyone the right to manufacture lies to obstruct justice.
Sowore’s theatrics may have momentarily fooled some people, but no amount of deception can shield him from facing the full weight of the law.
No matter the drama, no matter the propaganda, justice will eventually catch up with Omoyele Sowore. Nigerians must be wary of being manipulated by those who trade in lies for personal gain.
