Sowore led 2,000 students in protest against the Nigerian government in 1992. During the protests, the police started shooting and seven people killed. Sowore was arrested and tortured. He was also involved in the demand for democratic government taking over military rule in June 12, 1993. This resulted in several arrests, detentions and life threatening treatment by government officials.
Sowore started Sahara Reporters in a small room in Manhattan 2006 to fight against corrupt and wrong government practices. Sahara Reporters is supported by grants donated by the Ford Foundation and Omidyar Foundation. The medium does not accept adverts and financial support from the Nigerian government.
On February 25, 2018, Sowore announced his intention to run for president in the 2019 Nigerian general election.
