Sowore attacked by hoodlums in court

This followed after Sowore was denied access into the court by the security operatives.

While he was still talking to the security men, some hoodlums numbering about twenty, arrived and descended on Sowore, slapping and punching him.

However the hoodlums after attacking Sowore left without being apprehended by the security agents.

The response of the security agents caused speculation that the hoodlums were backed by the government.
