A Lagos-based legal practitioner, Festus Ogun, has taken Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to court over what he described as a violation of his constitutional right to freedom of expression.
He revealed that the governor had blocked him on Twitter (now X) for about three years, a move he considers an infringement on his civic rights as a Lagos resident. In August 2025, he filed a lawsuit at the Federal High Court, seeking legal remedies.
In his suit, Festus Ogun is asking the court to compel Sanwo-Olu to unblock him and issue a public apology. He explained that while the matter had caused him stress and emotional trauma, he deliberately chose not to demand monetary compensation to avoid being seen as a “gold digger.” According to him, his only request is simple: “Just unblock me.”
