Sowore Petitions Police to Investigate, Ensure Justice For his Ray-Ban Eyeglasses Stolen During Police Protest
Nigerian human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has petitioned the Nigeria Police force to investigate his Ray-Ban sunglasses which he claims was forcefully snatched by a staff member of the Force Public Relations Office, under instructions of ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi.
According to Sowore in a post on his social media handle on Wednesday, he submitted the petition on Tuesday at the Police headquarters and the office of the FCID in Abuja to find his glasses.
The ‘Ray-Ban Ai-powered eyeglasses’ according to Sowore, was stolen from him on Monday during the protest led by retired police officers.

In his petition, Sowore stated that the case is beyond stealing and was a criminal conduct by senior police officers and their accomplices.
He wrote; “Yesterday, I visited the Nigeria Police Force Headquarters as well as the offices of the FCID in Abuja to formally submit a petition prepared by our ebullient attorney, Tope Temokun of TOPE TEMOKUN CHAMBERS, LAGOS, demanding an investigation, prosecution, and the return of my stolen Ray-Ban AI-powered eyeglasses, which were forcefully snatched by a staff member of the Force Public Relations Office, under instructions of ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi.
“This is not just about stolen property; it is a matter of criminal conduct by senior police officers and their accomplices.
“It has now been confirmed that Aku Victor Chiemerie carried out this act on direct instruction by ACP Muyiwa Adejobi during Monday’s historic #PoliceProtest.”
However, the activist stated that the FCID redirected him to the DPO of the Federal Secretariat Police Station in Abuja to submit the petition an action which he described as an injustice.
According to him, the police would have taken immediate action if it were a celebrity pastor, Nollywood start or other public figures that were petitioned against over cybercrime claims.
He continued; “Shockingly, this morning, the FCID leadership informed me that I must submit my petition to the DPO of the Federal Secretariat Police Station in Abuja, an unnecessary bureaucratic hurdle intended to delay and subvert the swift bringing of the suspect and his accomplices to justice.
“If this were a cybercrime petition against a powerful politician, a wealthy businessman, a celebrity pastor, or a Nollywood star, the police would act immediately; they’d arrest the suspect, fly them to Abuja, and parade them before the media.
“The struggle to liberate Nigeria is unstoppable.”
