A human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, has accused the Nigerian government of waging war against the media in preparation for the 2023 elections.

Mr Falana spoke in Lagos Thursday at a conversation on the shrinking media and civic space in Nigeria and public presentation of a book, Testimony to Courage, essays in honour of Dapo Olorunyomi.

Many journalists have been arrested, detained and prosecuted in the past few years for various offences relating to their work. The Senior Advocate of Nigeria accused Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu of the Federal High Court in Abuja of bias against his client, Mr Sowore. “Sowore has been granted bail but his movement has been restricted to Abuja. His family is in America, he doesn’t work in Abuja, he has no house in Abuja yet he has been asked to stay in Abuja. The trial may last ten years. It has never happened in Nigeria before.“Sowore has been banned as a journalist from speaking. As a politician, he cannot address a rally until the case is determined and we don’t know when that case will be concluded. That is not all.

What you saw is different from mine nothing of such SAN

So many like me disagreed with Falana while he was running campaign for Buhari 'Buhari is the wrong person to lead Nigeria' We said it without fear or favour But the usual Nigeria poor mentality is that he is a SAN, therefore he has a better view Now he is here wailing like me.

Buhari gvt is waging war against corruption media establishment

Honestly, it's the media that perfected the art of spreading fakenews. This must be purge off the media.

Has thou eyes opened?

Femifalana U are one of those people wey go wake am up were he dey sleep so everyone of u must taste what u brought

Military in Agbada

They gave you gullible ones in the sw June 12 and named Abuja stadium after Abiola, and you fell for it. Singing the praises of Buhari and calling for his re-election.

Are you sure? Those that created monsters shall be visited by their creature. Good morning, sir.

Very obvious and Nigerians are blind to read the writings on the wall.. What happened to SOWORE live will happen to us on social media. NIGERIANS WAKE UP!! Your FREEDOM of speech will be DENIED and SHAKLED..

God will not allow them remove the same ladder that brought them to power.

Good morning sir.

You?femi falana, wole soyinka, tunde bakare, okorocha, abubakar atiku,bola tinubu, bukola saraki, Muric, rotimi amaechi, oshuomole ,PFN, to name but a few brought the retard to poweŕ.

An irresponsible media for that matter.

Falana has decamped to wailers club

Falana SAN has a difficult Relationship with the Truth. Sowore is a politician who lost an election & then actively sought to topple a democratic Govt. Societies profit from past mistakes. Media propulsion of hate speech caused the Rwandan civil war. Nigeria won’t Tow that Path..

Falana, wole Soyinka etc Supported this rogue government in 2015 Anything they see let them take
