You will be disgraced - Sowore tells DSS DG

Activist Omoyele Sowore has said the Director General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Tosin Ajayi, shall be disgraced and forgotten, just as the former DG of that "lawless agency under the Buhari regime was disgraced!"

This was after Sowore was arraigned in court and remanded in prison for calling President Bola Tinubu a criminal.

Displeased, Sowore stated that the Director General's overzealous determination to prosecute and convict him on behalf of Tinubu, using Justice Muhammad Umar of the Federal High Court, will not stand the test of time.

"Their initial plan was to stop our party primaries, but when that failed, they resolved to convict me so that I would not be qualified to contest the next election.

"Ironically, this is the same man the NUJ recently honored as 'Man of the Year,' despite his operatives assaulting and intimidating journalists and lawyers and preventing them from carrying out their lawful duties in court. Yet both the NBA and the NUJ have suddenly lost their voices.
Power is transient; those who abuse it have no honorable place in history," he said on X.
