Activist Omoyele Sowore is speaking out following the detention of two former top officials, Nasir El-Rufai and Abubakar Malami.
He pointed out that those who once held the keys to power are now struggling under the weight of the Nigerian legal system.
Sowore alleged that Malami—who oversaw many high-profile prosecutions—sent people to ask Sowore’s legal team for assistance in getting him released.
Both men are under investigation; El-Rufai is being questioned over N423 billion in missing state funds, while Malami is facing serious allegations involving illegal weapons and terrorism financing.
El-Rufai’s team complained that he is being treated poorly and experiencing health issues. Sowore responded by saying that while he doesn't support abuse, leaders should have ensured hospitals and cells were in good shape while they had the chance.
Sowore concluded that while he opposes "impunity" (illegal or unfair treatment), it is a reminder that the "monsters" these leaders created are now coming back to haunt them.
