Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Comrade Omoyele Sowore, has accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of unleashing social and economic terrorism on Nigerians.

In a post on his verified Twitter handle on Monday, Sowore expressed concern about the rising costs of living in Nigeria.

According to Sowore, tuition fees in some schools have increased by 500%; electricity charges are skyrocketing, fuel costs have quadrupled, and food prices have become unaffordable for many Nigerians.

He lamented the impact of these rising costs on the citizens.

Sowore asserted that the current administration had come prepared to impose harsh economic measures on Nigerians, and he expressed his belief that the regime will face consequences for its actions.

He encouraged Nigerians to organise and take a stand against the government’s policies.

In his tweet, Sowore said: “It is Monday morning and the roads are famished and empty. School fees are going up by 500% in some schools, electricity charges are skyrocketing, fuel costs have quadrupled, food prices have gone beyond the reach of many… the @officialABAT regime came prepared to unleash social and economic terror on Nigerians and the rogue regime will get its comeuppance soon! Organise don’t agonise! They did not promise magic, they promised Shege! #Renewedshege #Revolutionnow.”

The Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday, dismissed a case filed by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), against suspended DCP Abba Kyari on allegations bordering on non-disclosure of assets.

Justice James Omotosho dismissed the suit, filed against Kyari and his younger brothers, Mohammed Kyari and Ali Kyari, for failure of the anti-narcotic agency to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt.

The judge held that the burden of proving a case beyond reasonable doubt falls in the prosecution which it had failed to do so.

The ruling covers only asset declaration allegations. Other cases including drug related offences are still ongoing.
