DSS Arraigns Omoyele Sowore for Alleged Cyberbullying Against Tinubu
The Department of State Services (DSS) arraigned Omoyele Sowore, the publisher of Sahara Reporters, at the Federal High Court in Abuja for allegedly cyberbullying President Bola Tinubu. Sowore pleaded not guilty before Justice Moham Umar.
His lawyer, Marshal Abubakar, challenged the competency of the charges. The court proceedings were briefly interrupted by objections from the defense counsel, Akinlolu Kehinde.
Sowore is accused of making false claims against Tinubu on social media platforms. The case has been adjourned, citing legal technicalities.
