Twitter Declines DSS Request to Delete Sowore's Post on Tinubu Criticism

Social media platform X, formerly Twitter, declined a request from the Department of State Services (DSS) to delete a post by activist publisher Omoyele Sowore criticizing President Bola Tinubu. Sowore revealed that X notified the DSS of the request, emphasizing their policy of respecting user voices and legal requests.

Sowore has been vocal about alleged targeting and harassment by the Tinubu administration. X stated they had not taken any action as the content did not violate Nigerian law.
