Omoyele Sowore delivers a live speech following his release from police custody.

Omoyele Sowore;

Ladies and gentlemen, I am honored to stand before you today to address a pressing matter that has been at the forefront of our collective consciousness. As we gather here, I am reminded of the urgent need for justice and accountability in our society. The recent detention of Omoyele Sowore, a champion of human rights, is a stark reminder of the challenges we face in our pursuit of a fair and just system.


As you may recall, we had received news of his release, but it has come to our attention that his authority is dwindling, erosion of legitimacy, and undermining the very fabric of our democratic institutions. This is not a message to be taken lightly, as it has a direct impact on the news cycle and the narrative of our times.

For eight hours, Omoyele Sowore has been held captive by the illegal actions of the Inspector General of Police and other complicit individuals. This gross violation of human rights is a stark reminder of the importance of standing up for what is right and just. I want to express my deepest gratitude to the people of Cincinnati and all those who have stood in solidarity with us during these trying times.

Make no mistake, we will not relent in our pursuit of justice. Omoyele Sowore will not escape the consequences of his actions, and we will ensure that those responsible for his detention are held accountable. As I stand before you today, I am filled with a sense of determination and purpose. The task ahead of us is crucial, and it is imperative that we address the harmful situations that plague our society.

I am prepared to engage in open and honest discussions about these matters, and I invite you to join me in this pursuit of truth and justice. We may have never faced such unprecedented circumstances, but we must not be deterred. Instead, we must draw strength from our collective resolve and push forward with unwavering determination.

This is not a moment for doubt or hesitation; it is a call to action. We may have had setbacks in the past, but we will not be deterred. The time for change is now, and I am committed to leading the charge. I urge you to join me on this journey towards a more just and equitable society.

Thank you.
