Today, at the FCT Command of the Nigeria Police Force in Abuja, activist Omoyele Sowore confronted the Minister of Works, David Umahi. The encounter has sparked a major discussion online and raised concerns about police conduct.
The confrontation followed the alleged intimidation of TracyNither Nicolas Ohiri, a married woman detained in Lagos for allegedly “cyberbullying.” Ohiri had publicly accused Umahi of owing her ₦250 million for over 12 years. While the dispute is civil in nature, police reportedly escalated it into a criminal case. Consequently, they flew her to Abuja and held her at the FCT Command.

Inside the police facility, Omoyele Sowore claims that David Umahi threatened and denigrated Ohiri. However, when Sowore arrived, the activist immediately disrupted the meeting. Following this, Umahi left the police command in anger.
After the minister departed, police allegedly refused to grant Ohiri bail or release her. Sowore also stated that Umahi warned the woman that she “hasn’t seen anything,” which many observers interpreted as a threat.
This incident highlights serious issues about the treatment of civil disputes involving powerful individuals. Moreover, it raises questions about how law enforcement agencies in Nigeria handle such matters. Civil rights advocates have since called for transparency and proper legal procedure.
Overall, the situation shows how quickly a civil dispute can escalate when influential figures get involved. It also demonstrates the power of public accountability, as Sowore’s intervention changed the course of the confrontation.
