DSS issues fresh directive to Sowore over “inciting” post against President Tinubu

The Department of State Service (DSS) has given human rights activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, a one-week ultimatum to retract a social media post it calls “false, malicious, and inciting.”

In a letter dated September 7, the DSS accused Sowore of making “criminal and derogatory remarks” about President Bola Tinubu in an August 26 post on X.

In the post, Sowore allegedly referred to the President as a “criminal” after Tinubu reportedly claimed that corruption no longer existed under his administration.

The DSS, through its Director of Legal Services, Uwem Davies, stated that Sowore’s remarks have angered citizens and could “incite public disturbance, disunity, and even insurrection.”

The service warned that if Sowore fails to comply, it will “explore all lawful means” to protect national security and public order.
