Ozekhome, who spoke on ChannelsTV, joined other well-meaning Nigerians to ask the Nigerian government to drop charges against Sowore and release him unconditionally.
Sowore, who has been in the detention of the Department of State Services since August 3, was charged with a fresh seven-count charge bordering on money laundering, treason, and cyberstalking Buhari.
Speaking on the charges against Sowore, the senior advocate of Nigeria said, “The government should end the case and save itself from the odium and disparagement that its obvious loss will entail. I see the case, as dead on arrival, it has no substance. It’s as dead as dodo (an extinct bird).
“How does a peaceful demonstration and merely saying so, how does it begin to form the serious crime of attempting to levy war against the state or overrunning the president or government of a state of members of the National Assembly to change their policy?
“The DSS hasn’t told us that Sowore had a gun or any of them were caught event with a banger.”
Ozekhome also asked the government to tackle issues raised by Sowore as he posited that the Buhari-led administration is becoming more paranoid and childish in prosecuting Sowore.
He said, “The government is becoming more and more paranoid, it is carrying its anti-opponent template to a ridiculous and ludicrous level that it is now becoming more and more very childish.
“Sowore itemized the ills of the society, bad educational system, youth unemployment, insecurity, bad and opaque governance and said there is the need for this government to move away from it and in attempting to do that he said, fellow Nigerians come to the street and demonstrate.
“We should be more occupied about how to remove Nigeria from the dolorous than this childish thing.
“Where are the arms that were caught with Sowore and others to carry out a revolution?
“What are the means by which Sowore and his group were to carry out this revolution?”
