The Department of State Services (DSS) has arraigned activist and politician Omoyele Sowore in court over a social media post critical of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. According to reports, the DSS accused Sowore of making inciting comments online, which they claim could undermine public peace and order.

Sowore, who is well-known for his outspoken stance on government policies, appeared before the court to face the charges. His lawyers argued that the case is politically motivated and a direct attempt to silence dissenting voices. The development has already sparked debates about freedom of expression and the limits of criticism in a democratic society.

Many Nigerians have taken to social media to react, with some condemning the DSS for targeting Sowore while others insist that the activist often crosses the line in his criticism of government officials. The case is expected to draw national attention as it unfolds, given Sowore’s history of political activism and previous clashes with security agencies.
