DSS Demands Removal of Sowore's Critical Tweet on President Tinubu, Threatens Legal Action

Omoyele Sowore, a 2023 presidential candidate, faces pressure from the DSS to delete a tweet critical of President Bola Tinubu. The DSS sent a letter to a social media platform, X, demanding the removal of Sowore's post within 24 hours.

The tweet was deemed to contain misleading information, hate speech, and incitement to violence. Failure to comply could lead to legal action.

Sowore accused of intentionally harming the president's reputation. The letter argued that the tweet violated Nigerian laws.

Sowore expressed reluctance to delete the post.
