Sowore’s Lawyers Fire Back: “No Bandage, No Lies—We Want His AI Glasses Back”

It’s messy. Real messy. Sowore’s legal team? They’re not having it. Not one bit.

Saturday, the lawyers dropped a statement. They called out the police. Said the August 8 press release was just full of contradictions. “A tale that don’t add up,” one lawyer said. You could almost hear the frustration.

Let’s rewind. Sowore, activist, ex-presidential hopeful, got picked up. Two days in police custody. Came out with a broken arm. His team says it happened when officers tried to drag him from one cell to another. Early morning. Like, 6am. Eight armed men. “They said they were taking him to court. But at that hour? Feels off. Feels dangerous,” the lawyers said.

Police? They claimed Sowore showed up with a bandage. The lawyers laughed that off. “How’s a man supposed to walk into a police station with medical supplies and nobody notices? If that’s true, it’s even worse for them. Means people expect violence at the station. That’s not normal.”

They want the police to release the inventory. Prove what Sowore brought. “He didn’t bring a bandage. He didn’t expect to get beat up,” they insisted.

And then, the medical drama. Sowore asked for his own doctors. Police said no. Instead, they brought in a so-called nurse. No X-ray. No real treatment. Just a quick wrap and that’s it. The lawyers say, “Would you trust the same people accused of hurting you to treat you? No way. That’s just asking for trouble.”

There’s more. The police, quick to deny assault, haven’t said a word about Sowore’s missing Ray-Ban AI glasses. “Funny how they can talk fast about some things, but go silent on others,” the lawyers pointed out.

And about writing a statement? The law says you don’t have to. Constitution says so. Police Act too. “You can’t punish a man for knowing his rights,” the lawyers said. “Refusing to write a statement isn’t a crime.”

The tone of the police press release? The lawyers called it unprofessional. Too personal. “Feels like a grudge, not an official statement,” they said.

Sowore’s out now. But his team isn’t letting this slide. They’re taking it up. Petitions to the Police Council. The Service Commission. They want answers. They want his stuff back. And they want the officers involved held to account.

It’s not over. Not by a long shot.
