The Department of State Services (DSS), has ordered the arrest and detention of Omoyele Sowore, a presidential candidate in the 2019 and 2023 general elections, upon his return to Nigeria.
This was disclosed in a leaked memo signed by one Adeola D. Ali, under the directive of the newly appointed Director General of the DSS, Adeola Ajayi.
The memo cites Sowore’s involvement in the recent #EndBadGovernance protests as the reason for the order.
The memo, marked “DSE: 94/6203 X WATCHLIST ACTION,” instructed airport security to detain Sowore and confiscate his baggage upon arrival.
It states, “The DGSS has approved the upgrading of WLA ‘B’ (Report arrival and destination by telephone immediately) to WLA ‘F’ (Detain traveller and escort with baggage to NHSS) against Omoyele Sowore, an activist/founder of Sahara Reporters Inc., an online news agency.”
The DSS memo explicitly calls for Sowore’s immediate detention and the confiscation of his baggage upon his arrival in Nigeria
But the human rights activist while reacting to the leaked memo said: “Meanwhile, the lawless @OfficialDSSNG has upgraded my status and name on their “watchlist” for arrest upon arrival in Nigeria.
“It is imperative to recognize that our country Nigeria requires salvation and our people need liberation, which will necessitate considerable effort. I intend to return home shortly, I mean VERY SOON.”
Sowore also added that nothing can stop the fresh #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria scheduled for October 1, 2024.
