The Publisher of an online news medium, Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore has been arrested by the Police in Lagos State.
His arrest followed a complaint by one Lekan Fatodu, a London-based journalist, who accused him of defamation of character.
In a tweet, Fatodu said: “I just got Sowore Omoyele of Saharareporters arrested for criminal defamation, blackmail and threat to my life and career.”
Findings revealed that Fatodu is also the publisher of “Check it Out Magazine.”
Reacting, however, Sowore said, “I was attacked in Lagos by some boys of a former minister. We are on our way to Panti Police Station.”
