NAPS Supports DSS's Suspension of Sowore's Prosecution
The National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS) has expressed its support for the Department of State Services (DSS) regarding the suspension of the prosecution of Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), until after the 2027 presidential election. NAPS National President, Jimoh Ibrahim Ajadi, stated that this decision reflects institutional restraint and a commitment to democracy, due process, and a level playing field for all candidates.
The association believes that deferring the prosecution will prevent any legal proceedings from disadvantaging candidates in the upcoming election. NAPS commended DSS Director-General, Oluwatosin Adeola Ajayi, for his commitment to due process since taking office in August 2024, highlighting the release of wrongfully detained individuals and compensation payments.
NAPS urged the public not to view the suspension as an abandonment of the case, asserting that proceedings can resume post-election in accordance with due process, thereby promoting a peaceful and credible electoral process.
