    I Am Not On Koo — Sowore Raises The Alarm Over Fake Account In His Name

    The author, Omoyele Sowore

    Human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, has carried a disclaimer about not being on Koo app, an Indian microblogging platform.

    Following the suspension of Twitter operations in Nigeria, Koo lobbied its way in the political circle and became the alternative microblogging site adopted by government officials.
