Buhari's Regime Deactivates Sowore’s National ID Card, Permanent Voter Card, International Passport, Gives No Reason For Action

The documents deactivated include the activist’s national identity card, permanent voter card, international passport and driver license.

The Nigerian Government has deactivated biometric identification of human rights activist and former Presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore.

The documents deactivated include the activist’s national identity card, permanent voter card, international passport and driver license.

As a result of this, Sowore will not be able to use any of the national documents to carry out any transaction within and outside the country as the cards cannot be read biometrically.

President Muhammadu Buhari’s regime is yet to give any explanation for the move.

The latest attack on the activist by the Nigerian Government came two days after SaharaReporters published an exclusive story revealing how a hacker had broken into the server of the National Identification Management Commission to steal personal information of over three million citizens.

It also comes weeks after the government attempted to freeze Sowore’s bank account domiciled with Guaranty Trust Bank – a development officials of the financial institution confirmed.

Recall that the activist’s account had first been frozen in August 2019 by the Department of State Services, Nigeria’s secret police notorious for violating rights of citizens, after the agency claimed he received huge funds from United Arab Emirates to overthrow the Buhari regime.

The allegation was later dropped when the DSS realised Sowore had never been to the United Arab Emirate.

In December 2021, the activist scored a landmark victory against the DSS over the seizure of his mobile phones and was awarded monetary damages of N2million.

However, the DSS has since refused to obey the court ruling, instead devising different tactics to eliminate Sowore, who has become a thorn in the flesh of the President Buhari administration.

Despite accusing him of planning to overthrow Buhari’s government by calling for a revolution, the Nigerian Government has failed to prove its case against the activist in court.

The government has adopted different means to keep the former presidential contestant out of circulation by confining him to Abuja through a court ruling and constantly harassing him.

Sowore was first arrested by the DSS on August 3, 2019 for calling on Nigerians to take to the streets to protest against bad governance in the country.

He was briefly released on bail on December 5 but rearrested a few hours later on December 6 by DSS operatives while appearing for his trial in a case brought against him by the Nigerian Government.

He is being accused of insulting President Muhammadu Buhari and planning to bring down his regime.

In all, Sowore spent over four months in detention despite two court orders directing his release on bail during that period.

Observers around the world including leading legal practitioners have described the charges against the activist as frivolous and laughable.

Ttalk:

Very comedious and wrong move by the FG.
The advisers of this government need vitamin K. They totally lack knowledge.

I can bet anything this is another concocted tale by this story fabricating,blackmailing blogger.
How can all your IDs be deactivated over a story that was not even true in the first place.
Yes,the Buhari government is the worst thing to happen to Nigeria but people should not allow one frustrated individual to be using it to fo ol them for his own selfish desire.
Sowore is a lying,disturbed human being.
I even wonder who reads his fabricated stories in SR any longer.

All those that short changed Nigerians by bringing this calamity upon this nation thereby taking us several years back to donkey age has received or will receive equal levels of punishment

Since the day SoWERE took his madness to Dunamis alter to disrupt a church service, I knew the only direction he'd be heading going forward is down.

Madman.

The guy that said Baba your time is up...lol

Sowore hasn't seen nothing yet in the hands of bihari & apc.
It was sowore that brought bihari through his smear campaign of calumny against Jonathan, his wife Patience & his government.
So bihari can even crushed sowore's head for all I care

His stories are now fabricated because there no more about Jonathan & his wife.
One thing I know is that when you ganged up against someone who has done you no personal wrong be rest assured that your own is gonna come when you least would have expected it.

why are you guys supporting evil all in the name of spitting a tribe.
how comfortable do you feel each time you wake up and see all buhari vast incompetence which your state is no doubt one of the major benefactors of his incompetence yet you feel so comfortable to defend this government and criticize and cajole those who speak out against it.
na wa for una oo
later na you people go dey call other people children of hate but you hate majority of Nigeria crying out against buhari bad governance.
make una dey reason sometimes because we'll give account on how we live this life whether we like it or not.
I'm not praying for it but you might be a victim of this bad governance one day.
many Nigerians are suffering on daily basis due to bad governance but all you guys can do is to support same government responsible for the death of hundreds if not thousands of Nigeria all in the name of politics.
today the north who are the major supporters of this useless government are bearing the consequences more than any region.
it can be anybody.
for once in our life let's stand for something right.
Buhari has failed Nigeria and humanity.
anybody supporting him is not a human being but a demon.

are you guys not tired of making this baseless assertion

The story is hard to believe.

Hopefully, he won't be deactivated too.
This is the height of it.

FG will surely deny

What's it about dunamis alter
Nonsense talk.

This is terrible. Nigeria is an abusive country. What is the benefit of being a Nigerian? The government has really abused the basic human rights of Sowore. It's unfortunate.

All you could say because your god buhari is involved.. Well, it serves sowore right

Well deserved

No peace for the wicked soul

If idiots like Sowore didn't paint GEJ black, called him devil & painted GMB as angel, we won't be in this mess because Jonathan administration would have ended in 2019 whereas Buhari would have been tired or dead by 2019 thereby pave way for someone with working brain to take over the mantel of power

God punish Omoyele Sowore
