Lawyer Sues Sanwo-Olu for Blocking Him on X (Formerly Twitter)

Published

on

Human rights lawyer Festus Ogun has filed a lawsuit at the Federal High Court against Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State, for allegedly violating his constitutional right to freedom of expression by blocking him on social media.

Ogun announced the legal action on Friday, stating that the governor has blocked him on his verified X (formerly known as Twitter) account for approximately three years.

The lawsuit challenges the legality of the governor’s decision to block a Lagos resident from accessing and interacting with a public communication platform used by the state’s chief executive.

“As a Lagos resident, I am convinced that my blocking is an attack on my constitutional right to freedom of expression,” Ogun stated in June 2025. “In August 2025, I will be approaching the court for legal remedies.”

Mr Ogun seeks that the court mandate the Governor of anybody handling his social media page to unblock him and prevent any further blocking.

He also demanded a public apology published on the X account for the gross violation of the applicant’s fundamental rights to freedom of expression and its associated trauma and distress, not later than 7 days after judgment.

Governor Sanwo-Olu has yet to publicly respond to the suit.
