Sowore Claims Ekiti Government and DSS Attacked Him

Omoyele Sowore, the African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections, alleged that the Ekiti State Government and the Department of State Services (DSS) sponsored a violent attack against him and his team in Ado-Ekiti. Sowore claimed that the attack was orchestrated by individuals linked to the Government House, who received tracking and operational support from the DSS.

He stated that the harassment began upon his team's arrival in the state capital, with DSS operatives reportedly trailing them and pressuring local residents, including threatening a restaurant manager who allowed them to use his premises. The physical assault occurred shortly after Sowore completed a radio interview at MIDAS FM 90.5.

He asserted that thugs attacked his team immediately after leaving the station, with alleged support from the DSS. At the time of his post, neither the Ekiti State Government nor the DSS had publicly responded to his accusations.
