Human Rights activist, Omoyele Sowore has mocked an Abuja Federal High Court judge, Justice Musa Liman, over his ignorance of the existence of AI glasses and usage of QR Codes generating air tickets.
Sowore, who appeared before the Justice Liman at the hearing of his Cybercrime case on Tuesday, expressed his disappointment in the judge who he alleged had no knowledge of technology and cyber world.
NPO Reported that the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, had dragged the activist to court for calling him an illegal IG.
Following his appearance at the court today, Sowore recounted his encounter with Justice Liman in a post on his X handle where he decried the judge’s ignorance of the cyber world.
He claimed the judge is unaware that a QR code represents an air ticket and was unfamiliar with AI glasses.
“Today, I had an unsettling experience in court with Justice Musa Suleiman Liman of the Federal High Court in Abuja. He seemed unaware that a QR code represents an air ticket and was unfamiliar with AI glasses.
“He also did not realize that these glasses could be medicated and even prescribed.
“Additionally, he was not informed that one can book an appointment with a doctor via an app without knowing the specific doctor until the date of the visit, which may result in a different doctor from the same team attending to you.
“This situation arose during a case that the @PoliceNG brought forth concerning IGP Kayode Egbetokun’s illegal position as Inspector General of Police.
“I argued that he is illegally occupying this role, as he is supposed to retire in 2024.
“Unfortunately, the judge’s cynicism turned what should have been a serious discussion into a farcical display of analog reasoning related to what ought to be a serious trial relating to “cybercrime.”
“How do you as a judge sit over Cybercrime case when you have no knowledge of the cyber world?” He said.
