Sowore: Security Agents Threaten Journalist Over Photo

Security agents on Friday stopped journalists from taking the photographs of the publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore, as he returned to the court for his trial.

Mr Sowore who arrived the court through the rear entrance and was taken in to the courtroom amid tight security, was clad in a light peach shirt and an ash coloured trouser.

The security sternly warned waiting journalists against any attempt to photograph Mr Sowore, and threatened to seize the phones of anyone who was found flouting the order.

Mr Sowore is facing trial for alleged treasonable felony, fraud, cyberstalking among other allegations.

The court has currently gone on a 30-minute break to allow respective parties to properly respond to the documents served on them.
