Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore confronted former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday, accusing him of now facing the same justice system he once defended.

The exchange played out publicly, drawing attention online.

Sowore Takes Direct Swipe

In a video circulating online, Sowore addressed Malami, saying the former minister was now experiencing the flaws he ignored while in office.

“You see how it feels now to be persecuted… we warned you then that there is failure in the justice system, but you didn’t listen,” he said.

He added that the system was now turning against him.

‘System Is Dealing With You’

Sowore, who has had several confrontations with authorities in the past, insisted that the justice system affects both critics and former officials.

“There is failure in the system. The system is dealing with you now,” he said.

During the exchange, he also offered Malami a symbolic “revolutionary cap.”

Malami Responds Briefly

Malami, in a short reply, maintained that he remained strong and committed to the legal process.

“I have been attending all my court sittings… I will keep attending,” he said.

He also noted that he had been participating in African Democratic Congress (ADC) meetings but missed the Ibadan opposition summit.

Wider Debate on Justice System

Sowore used the moment to reiterate his long-standing criticism of governance and accountability in Nigeria.

“We are not all on the same side… even the oppressors are oppressing you now,” he said.

The exchange has since sparked reactions, as debates around Nigeria’s justice system and political accountability continue.
