A heated exchange has erupted between human rights activist Omoyele Sowore and politician Ned Nwoko over the detention of a content creator, Gabriel Timothy, popularly known as Tumma, who had accused actress Regina Daniels of infidelity.
It would be recalled that Tumma, in a social media post, alleged that the actress — who is married to Nwoko — was involved with a man in Abuja.
Following the claim, Nwoko petitioned the police, leading to Tumma’s arrest.

Sowore, who condemned the arrest, described it as an abuse of power and demanded the immediate release of the young man.
In response, Nwoko fired back, calling Sowore “jobless” for defending someone he believes should face legal consequences.
Reacting to the criticism on Saturday, Sowore took to his X handle and wrote: “Senator
“@Prince_NedNwoko
“I read on http://Legit.ng that you stated Gabriel Timothy, also known as Tumma, will be imprisoned for 10 years without trial. You also allegedly claimed that I am jobless for advocating for Tumma’s rights.
“I want to remind you that, just as we secured Jaruma’s release and that of several other young people from your village you unlawfully detained at the FCID in Abuja in 2021 and beyond, Tumma will also be released. Injustice will not be tolerated.
“I am proud to be working to restore human dignity, a job that does not require embezzling local government funds, engaging in shady politics or stealing land from the poor. If I were jobless and hungry, I would have accepted your numerous invitations to meet at your Abuja home, especially when @Sahara Reporters was exposing your foundation’s claims about eradicating malaria from Africa.
“My only question to Eric Osagie, who extended the invitation (but later denied it) was whether you had eradicated mosquitoes around your own Abuja home. I declined the invitation, and a few weeks later, I was arrested with the help of then Abuja CP Babaji Sunday following their meeting at your mansion. We have been in court since 2022, and we have not even reached arraignment.
“A generation that must eradicate oppression must emerge to stop you and your types. #freetumanow #RevolutionNow
– Omoyele Sowore”
