DSS Seeks Dismissal of Sowore's No-Case Submission

The Department of State Services (DSS) has urged the Federal High Court in Abuja to dismiss Omoyele Sowore's no-case submission concerning allegations of making false claims against President Bola Tinubu. DSS counsel Akinlolu Kehind, Senior Advocate of Nigeria, presented arguments to Justice Moham Umar, asserting that the prosecution has established a case against Sowore.

The DSS filed a response to Sowore's application on April 23, urging the court to reject his request for an order to enter his defense earlier. Sowore's lawyer, Abubakar, contended that the prosecution failed to link his client to the alleged offenses and requested the court to dismiss the charges against Sowore.

The case involves two counts of cyberbullying, with Sowore pleading not guilty upon re-arraignment. The court has adjourned the matter until May 8 to rule on the no-case submission.
