Human rights activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has vowed to continue his mobilisation efforts after a court ordered his remand in the Kuje Correctional Centre.

Despite the court order, the activist expressed his determination to press on with his activism and mobilisation, insisting that the development would not deter him from his cause.
The remand order has continued to generate reactions, with the activist's supporters and rights groups expressing concerns over his detention and reaffirming their solidarity with him.
