Stalled Appearance of INEC Chairman in Sowore’s Cyberbullying Trial

In a surprising turn of events, the much-anticipated appearance of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman, Joash Amupitan, in the cyberbullying trial of activist Omoyele Sowore, has been stalled. According to a report by Premium Times Nigeria, the court had granted Sowore’s request to summon All Progressives Congress (APC) figure Joe Igbokwe and INEC Chairman Joash Amupitan as defence witnesses. However, the reasons for the postponement remain unclear as the INEC has not made any official statement on the matter. This development comes at a critical juncture in Sowore’s trial, raising questions about the progress of the case and the role of key figures in the Nigerian political landscape.
