Human rights activist and convener of #RevolutionNow movement, Omoyele Sowore, has reacted to a directive from the Department of State Service (DSS) ordering his arrest upon his arrival in Nigeria......See Full Story>>.....See Full Story>>
Earlier reports had indicated that the secret police ordered Sowore’s arrest immediately he lands in Nigeria.
It was learnt that the directive, issued by the newly appointed DSS Director General, Adeola Ajayi, stemmed from Sowore’s role in the recent 10-day #EndBadGovernance protests.
However, the former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) lambasted the DSS for issuing the command.
He asserted that it is unfortunate that President Bola Tinubu’s administration has demonstrated inability to track and arrest the former Kogi governor, Yahaya Bello, but has been effective in hunting down those calling for good governance and standing against hunger and hardship inflicted on Nigerians.
Speaking via X, he mocked the DSS for upgrading his status on its watchlist.
According to him, “The current administration, led by Tinubu, has demonstrated an upgraded inability to effectively track and apprehend terrorism suspects, bandits, and kidnappers, while the @officialEFCC has yet to arrest former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello.
“Meanwhile, the lawless @OfficialDSSNG has upgraded my status and name on their “watchlist” for arrest upon arrival in Nigeria.
“It is imperative to recognise that our country Nigeria requires salvation and our people need liberation, which will necessitate considerable effort. I intend to return home shortly, I mean very soon.
