Omoyele Sowore, the human rights campaigner and ex-presidential hopeful, has taken aim at President Bola Ahmed Tinubu again. This time, he's responding to the killing of a teacher kidnapped during a school raid in Oyo State.

Sowore posted his criticism on his official social media page on Wednesday. He claimed he'd warned Nigerians about what Tinubu's presidency would bring.

"During the 2023 election season, I went on Agidigbo FM 88.7, warning Nigerians and particularly Yorubas about the disaster Bola Ahmed Tinubu would bring upon the country," he said. "Sadly, many refused to listen."

According to him, he'd also spoken on Miliki 101.3FM in Lagos with the same message. Callers kept telling him to keep quiet, he noted.

"Now look at what 'Emilokan' has done to you all. Tinubu is a disaster!" Sowore declared in the statement.

He attached what he described as a photo of the mathematics teacher. The image allegedly showed the educator pleading for his life after armed bandits stormed the secondary school.

Several students and staff were taken during the attack. Sowore said the teacher was later beheaded.
