The Centre for Public Integrity (CPI) has issued a defense of the Department of State Services (DSS) in response to activist Omoyele Sowore's criticisms. The CPI accused Sowore of unfairly targeting the security agency, highlighting what it claims are improvements in the DSS's operations under its current leadership. This statement was made by CPI's Executive Director, Comrade Job Samuel Danfulani.

The Director General of the Department of State Services (DSS) has initiated an investigation into the actions of its operatives during an incident involving Omoyele Sowore at the Federal High Court in Abuja. This follows the release of a video on social media showing armed DSS officials in a confrontation with Sowore on Tuesday.

Former presidential candidate Peter Obi has raised alarms regarding the remand of activist and publisher Omoyele Sowore, labeling it a threat to Nigeria's democracy. His comments came after a ruling by the Federal High Court in Abuja, where Justice Mohammed Umar ordered Sowore's remand in Kuje Prison pending further proceedings.

Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), claims that his current prosecution is politically motivated. He argues that he is being targeted for opposing corruption, according to ThisDay Live.

Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, labeled President Bola Tinubu a failed traitor to Nigerians after his release from Kuje prison. Sowore had been temporarily remanded by an Abuja Federal High Court, which granted him bail set at N200 million.

Aisha Yesufu, a member of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has criticized the Department of State Services (DSS) regarding its involvement in a comment made by President Tinubu. She questioned the rationale behind the DSS's engagement, implying that if Tinubu were not a criminal, there would be no need for such involvement.
