Nigerian activist and Sahara Reporters publisher, Omoyele Sowore, has called out a police media staff for allegedly stealing his AI-powered Ray-Ban smart glasses during a protest at the Force Headquarters in Abuja.
On Monday, Sowore led a powerful protest alongside retired police officers who are demanding better pension benefits and welfare. The demonstration, which took place right at the gates of the Nigeria Police Force Headquarters, drew wide attention and stirred emotions across the capital.
However, shortly after the protest ended, Sowore raised the alarm that his smart glasses had gone missing. A video clip that surfaced online showed a man seemingly taking the glasses off Sowore’s face amid the crowd.
In a Facebook post shared on Tuesday, the activist claimed that the culprit is one Aku Victor Chiemere, reportedly a cameraman working under the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Muyiwa Adejobi.
Sowore wrote,“Yesterday, during the historic #PoliceProtest at the Nigeria Police Force Headquarters in Abuja, Aku Victor Chiemere, a staff cameraman under the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Muyiwa Adejobi, stole my Ray-Ban AI smart glasses.
He didn’t stop there. He further described the alleged theft as a “reprehensible criminal act” and called for swift justice.
“I am demanding the immediate return of my stolen property and the prosecution of both CSP Muyiwa Adejobi and Aku Victor Chiemere for theft, conspiracy, and official misconduct,” Sowore added.
