Sowore Alleges Attack by Government-Linked Thugs in Ekiti

Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), reported an attack on himself and his team in Ekiti State on Friday. He alleged that the attackers were linked to the Government House of Ekiti and received operational support from the Department of State Services (DSS).

Sowore stated that since their arrival, DSS operatives had been following and intimidating them, even threatening a restaurant manager to prevent them from using the premises. The violent attack occurred shortly after Sowore completed an interview at MIDAS FM 90.5 in Ado-Ekiti.

He emphasized that the Commissioner of Police in Ekiti State, Falade Adegoroye, visited the scene and witnessed the injuries sustained by his team. Despite this, Sowore criticized Adegoroye for describing the incident as a mere "altercation," insisting it was a coordinated attack.
