Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has accused human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore of lying over claims that some #EndSars activists were monetising the ongoing nationwide protests.
AllNews reports that this comes after Sowore, via his verified Twitter handle, said that many activists have become billionaires since the protests began.
Sowore tweeted, "I will not be part of any negotiation regarding end SARS. Many have entered into these negotiations and come out on the other side becoming billionaires. To them, it is a game."
I will not be part of any negotiations regarding #ENDSARS, many have entered into these negotiations and come out of the other side becoming billionaires, to them it is a game! The only negotiation I will ever engage in is that of the SURRENDER of our oppressors! #RevolutionNow

Countering Sowore’s claim, Omokri via a video he posted on his Instagram, said that the government is working with people like Sowore to discredit the #End SARS movement.
He added that Sowore is only pained because his #RevolutionNow movement failed and he was denied the opportunity of leading the #EndSARS protest.

The former presidential aide said that he has done his investigation and found out there's no truth to Sowore's allegations.
Omokri also challenged the #RevolutionNow convener to list names if he was sure of his accusations.
He said, "Omoyele Sowore is just pained that Revolution Now flopped and End SARS protest is a major international success.
"He's got a big ego and would like to lead the movement but because he was denied that opportunity now he's making these spurious allegations.
"I've investigated it - and not just me, I don't want to mention names - major people have investigated this, they found out that it's completely untrue."
"Omoyele Sowore is a common blackmailer, and I'm sure a lot of you know this part."
"Omoyele Sowore is just like Festus Keyamo. He was hoping to be made a Minister by Muhammadu Buhari and so when Muhammadu Buhari came on board and did not make him a Minister, it was after he came out with his ministerial list that Omoyele started to fight him.
"He has a personal quarrel with Muhammadu Buhari, face your personal quarrel but don't jeopardize the movement, don't jeopardize the emancipation of Nigeria from the oppressors. There is no truth to that allegation. End SARS is a spontaneous people mass movement; there is no leader.
“And Omoyele Sowore, if you are sure of your allegations, name names."
