DSS Initiates Legal Action Against Sowore Over Tinubu Accusations
The Department of State Services (DSS) has taken legal action against activist Omoyele Sowore for allegedly making false claims about President Bola Tinubu. Sowore, known for his activism and online platform SaharaReporters, accused Tinubu of criminal activities, leading to the legal action.
The DSS filed a criminal suit in the Federal High Court in Abuja after Sowore refused to retract his statements. This move comes after Sowore's controversial social media post on August 25, 2025.
Sowore's confrontational approach and history of activism have now led to legal repercussions from the Nigerian authorities.
