Nigerians blast VP Yemi Osinbajo over silence on re-arrest of Omoyele Sowore

Nigerians have taken to social media to blast Vice President Yemi Osinbajo over his silence on the re-arrest of Omoyele Sowore on Friday by the operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) less than 24 hours after he was released.

Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu had earlier ordered the DSS to release Sowore within 24 hours and also pay him N100,000 for improper legal conduct. The DSS then released Mr Sowore only for him and his co-defendant to be re-arrested.

Reacting to the incident, many Nigerians took to their social media platforms to call out the Vice President who is a Professor of Law and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria for not speaking on the matter. See reactions below.

The SANs in the tyrannical government of General Buhari @MBuhari include
Osinbajo
Malami
Fashola
Keyamo
Add any I haven't.
Have they spoken about the DSS invasion of a court of law ?
You don't expect General Buhari @MBuhari to talk. They did his bidding!

If Osinbajo attends the NBA dinner next week and is not disgraced, then there is something wrong with all of us.

Lol!! If Osinbajo resigns today, in 3wks time, the government will announce that there’s misappropriation of funds meant for trader moni and DSS will arrest him. https://t.co/DvScdzspkk

Buhari is a cancer to this country. And we are stuck with him till at least 2023. If he wants to rule beyond 2023, the clowns at the National Assembly can't do anything.

Ahmed Lawal is Buhari's chief concubine, Osinbajo is a houseboy in Aso Rock. This country is doomed. DOOMED!

Watch how Sowore was Re-arrested in the court after being released last night.

How's Sowore a threat to national security?

Meanwhile we have a VP Osinbajo who's a Professor of Law?

Congratulations Sir Buhari. #FreeSoworeNow #FreeSowore pic.twitter.com/dJXeI5JKE5

The last time Prof Osinbajo was an acting president, a certain DSS Boss was forming Spartacus, we all know how the rug was immediately pulled underneath his feet!

Dear aggrieved Sowore Paraclete, kindly channel the vibe to the appropriate quarters! pic.twitter.com/PQk7KcGjPh

I don't know what you guys expect Osinbajo to say or do when Buhari is desecrating the sanctity of the judiciary.

Osinbajo answers to Buhari, he is a mere errand VP, a condolence minister. If he says too much, Buhari will give him the Sowore treatment and the SW will do nothing.

What are the extents of Osinbajo's powers pls? What can he do?

He is not Atiku who was a renowned Politician before being VP. He has no money. He has no powerful family name.

He is just Tinubu's "lieutenant" in Aso Rock. What can he do biko? https://t.co/iN0lXZ33Wt

"The DSS acting lawlessly because Buhari doesn't want to interfere"

"Sowore supported Buhari against Jonathan. Karma is a bitch"

"Buhari is not aware of Sowore's case"

"DSS is to be blamed not Buhari"

"Osinbajo is only an assistant"

All of you are mad

When SSS attempted to break into the National Assembly, Acting President Osinbajo fired its director-general within a few hours.

Today, SSS actually broke into a federal courtroom with guns, traumatising judges and citizens.

Sowore's case has finally boxed President Buhari in. https://t.co/wOG336Gp0G

Why are people mentioning and blaming @ProfOsinbajo for the blatant disregard of rule of law and the arrest of Omoyele Sowore inside the court room, we all saw what Osinbajo did when he was acting President. Please direct your anger to Buhari becos he's the C in C.#EndImpunity
