Human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, has responded to the Department of State Service’s order for his arrest upon arrival in Nigeria, calling it an “upgraded inability” to track terrorism suspects and corruption.
Sowore, currently in the United Ststes, mocked the DSS for prioritizing his arrest over that of former Kogi Governor Yahaya Bello and other suspects.
Taking to X, he criticized President Tinubu’s administration for targeting those advocating for good governance and struggling against hunger and hardship.
Sowore announced his intention to return to Nigeria soon, saying “Nothing Can Stop An Idea Whose Time Has Come!” and emphasizing the need for Nigeria’s salvation and liberation.
Speaking via X, he mocked the DSS for upgrading his status on its watchlist.
According to him, “The current administration, led by Tinubu, has demonstrated an upgraded inability to effectively track and apprehend terrorism suspects, bandits, and kidnappers, while the @officialEFCC has yet to arrest former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello.
“Meanwhile, the lawless @OfficialDSSNG has upgraded my status and name on their “watchlist” for arrest upon arrival in Nigeria.
“It is imperative to recognise 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.
