Sowore’s Movement Offers ₦1m Reward for Information on Ado-Ekiti Attack
The #RevolutionNow Movement says it is offering a ₦1 million reward for credible information that helps identify and prosecute those responsible for the October 30 incident involving activist Omoyele Sowore and members of his team in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State.
The movement said it would consider information such as video footage or other evidence that could help investigators establish who took part. It asked people with relevant material to contact the group through Sowore’s social media channels. The offer is the movement’s announcement; MBTV has not independently verified the reward’s terms or how it will be administered.
Accounts of the incident differ
The incident occurred at Tawakalitu Restaurant in Ado-Ekiti. Sowore and his associates have described it as a violent attack. The Ekiti State Police Command said officers responded to an alert about an altercation, rescued Sowore and took him for treatment, describing his injury as minor. The command said an investigation was ordered.
Police later said 11 suspects had been arrested in connection with the incident, and the suspects were brought before a court. Their alleged roles and the wider circumstances remain matters for investigation and the courts.
Calls for further investigation
Sowore has questioned whether the arrests address who planned or organised the incident and has called for an independent inquiry. He has also raised concerns about the handling of CCTV and other evidence. These are allegations and requests for investigation, not established findings. The Ekiti State Government has denied involvement and called for a thorough police investigation.
The reward announcement does not replace the police investigation or determine anyone’s guilt. Any information provided should be credible and passed to the appropriate investigators; accusations against individuals should not be treated as proof.
MBTV will follow official updates and any court proceedings. The public record may change as investigators and the court establish further facts.
