JUST IN: Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has unblocked human rights lawyer Festus Ogun on X (formerly Twitter) after a meeting at Lagos House, Marina, on Friday.

“Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has unblocked me on X (Twitter). I met briefly with him yesterday at Lagos House Marina, on his invitation, to amicably resolve my complaint of human rights violations. We will continue to hold authorities accountable, regardless. Aluta continua!” Ogun wrote

Recall that the lawyer had earlier sued the governor at the Federal High Court in Lagos, accusing him of rights violations, for blocking him on X. He prayed the court to declare the governor’s action unconstitutional, arbitrary, and discriminatory, while urging the court to compel Sanwo-Olu to unblock him, issue a public apology, and stop targeting critics online.

This prompted the governor to personally invite him for a brief meeting at Lagos House, to address his complaints.
