Eight months ago (precisely in September 2021), Sowore’s immediate younger brother, Olajide, was shot dead by suspected kidnappers in Edo state.
Although Sowore, his wife Opeyemi, and children have been residents of Haworth, New Jersey, USA, activism has brought him to Nigeria.
He has been a thorn in the flesh of successive Nigerian governments and has been sanctioned and arrested severally.
