Sowore Clashes with DSS Over Anti-Tinubu Post: Rights Activist Stands Firm
Human rights activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has formally responded to the Department of State Services (DSS) request to delete an anti-Tinubu post on social media. The DSS accused Sowore of publishing false and inciting posts about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Sowore, in his response dated September 12, rejected the request, asserting the right to criticize the President and highlighting the flawed nature of the demand. This exchange underscores the ongoing tensions between activists and government authorities regarding freedom of expression and criticism in Nigeria.
