The Calgary Police Service said there was a "clerical error" in alleging Adora Nwofor was motivated by "hate based on race or ethnic origin"

Haggerty suggested the allegation his client was motivated by “hate based on race or ethnic origin” may have been filed in error, something later confirmed by the Calgary Police Service.

“It looks like there was a clerical error with the initial charge, with the incorrect (Criminal Code) subsection,” the service said.

Nwofor is president of Black Lives Matter YYC and has also been active in the community as a supporter of abortion rights.
