DSS Petitions X/twitter To Take Down Sowore’s Account for ridiculing Tinubu by daewoorazer(op): 3:09am On Sep 07, 2025
6th September, 2025
The Chairman and CEO X Corp. Bastrop County,
Texas USA Email: press@x.com
RE: MISLEADING INFORMATION AND WILLFUL, INTENTION TO FURTHERING AN IDEOLOGY CAPABLE OF SERIOUS HARM, INCITEMENT TO VIOLENCE, CYBER CRIME, HATE SPEECH TO DISCREDIT/DISPARAGE THE PRESIDENT O F THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA AND CAUSE SERIOUS THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.


DEMAND FOR IMMEDIATE AND URGENT BAN/DEACTIVATION OF AN X ACCOUNT OWNED BY OMOYELE SOWORE THROUGH HIS VERIFIED X HANDLE @YELESOWORE OR ANY OTHER X ACCOUNT MAINTAINED BY HIM.

We detected and monitored with dismay and consternation a widely condemned publication/trending Tweet by Omoyele Sowore on his X official handle page
@YeleSowore on 25th August, 2025 about 11:38 PM local time (2338 hours) WAT disparaging and ridiculing the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The Tweet read: "This criminal @officialABAT actually went to Brazil to state that there is NO MORE corruption under his regime in Nigeria. What audacity to lie shamelessly!"

Those words were personally directed at Mr. President through his official communication channel @officialABAT which is the known X handle of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The said tweet is herewith attached
and will be referenced on herein for emphasis and necessary action. The said tweet is still in circulation and has attracted widespread condemnation by majority of Nigerians, some of whom may resort to unwholesome activities to vent their grievance over it, especially supporters of the President who have started taking to the streets in protest, thereby creating political tension and threatening the country's national security. This is in addition to the disparaging effect the tweet has on the reputation of Mr. President and the country before the comity of nations.

The tweet under reference is against the transparency on X and Government has
frowned at it and found it extremely dangerous, false, privacy violation behavior
that manipulate and negatively impacts on the person of the President and the Country.

It is pertinent to bring to your knowledge that under the Nigerian Law, these quoted tweets/words constitute offence punishable in Section 51 of the Criminal Code Act Cap.77 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, which prohibits publication of false information; Sections 19,22 and 24 of the Cyber Crimes Act 2025 which prohibits and makes it an offence to spread fake news or publishing content that is deliberately misleading or deceptive, posting content that is rude, vulgar, offensive, or indecent, especially with the intent to embarrass or humiliate others, provoke ethnic, religious, or tribal hatred through online or offline statements; amounting to domestic terrorism. The Law also makes the offender and the medium through which the offence is perpetrated/propagated culpable and criminally liable too.

The author and purveyor of the inflammatory online publication against Mr. President is very much aware that the publication is also prohibited by Section 2(3) of the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022 and other relevant Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

It is not in doubt that the words employed by Mr. Omoyele Sowore is misleading information, online harassment and abuse, willful intention of furthering an ideology capable of serious harm, hate speech, cause disunity, discredit/disparage the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria within the Comity of Nations to damage the image of Nigeria and cause serious threat to national security of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

It is against the above highlighted backdrop that we make an immediate and urgent demand on your Corporation to as a matter of its own policy, immediately TAKE DOWN the tweet and its attendant re-tweets.

This demand is unequivocal with its attendant consequence. Should you fail, neglect and refuse to comply with the command in this notice, the Federal Government will be compelled to take far-reaching, sweeping and across-the-board measures through our Organization, whose mandate covers such criminal acts.

In the light of the above having been made official to you, 24 hours is sufficient enough to take necessary action.

Yours Faithfully
B. Bamigboye, fsi
For: Director General State Services.

But the pres. erred by saying no corruption in his government again when his government is laden with corrupt politicians: Wike seized land from Abuja indegenes and gave the land to his son, is that not corruption?

Is the statement true or not?

If someone makes a bold statement in public that is not true, what does that make the person and statement?

There is bad insecurity in Nigeria but this is where dem get energy.

APC is indeed a party of terrorists. DSS is a political tool to keep critics mum.

Very useless people fighting the truth.
Instead of them to take their fight to Barma, where Civilian's and soldiers were killed yesterday, they are taking their fight to social media.

DSS is funny. DSS is actually making allegations against Tinubu supporters for planning violence. So who should be arrested? Is it not the one planning violence?

When I said our security agencies lack intelligence, this right here is a case study.

Then he should stop been President.

Just last week, Trump wasn't seen in 3 days, and Americans were doing hashtags of his death, how many people did the CIA carry?

Many who didn't see Sowore's post have now seen it, thanks to the same DSS. What is wrong with inviting him than this post that will more than likely not gain traction with Elon.

Tinubu did worse and said worse things to Jonathan when he was the president. In short, in one of their rallies then, Tinubu and Aregbeshola called Jonathan OLE publicly and heaven didn't fall down. Going back to the message from Sowore though I'm not a fan, what he said about Tinubu is the truth because Tinubu lied when he said that corruption was gone in this country.

It is only a hardened criminal that tell lies internationally.

Does that make the person a criminal?

Don't mind them. They have no work to do. Besides, there's nothing like DSS recognized by law. What the law recognizes is State Security Service (SSS).

60 people were killed by bokoharam. DSS is not interested in that, their main priority is chasing a content creator.

If na by these statements, Elon Musk’s X will not take down Sowore’s account.

Worse had been done to POTUS and SSS didn’t write to X on X to take down anyone’s account.

You call yourself secret service and do things like these in public on a public forum you have no control over.

The account Sowore mentioned is not the official handle of the President of Nigeria but a handle that is owned by the occupier of that office, thus he didn’t technically direct his insult at the office of the president, but at the occupier of the office.

That account has been used by the occupier of that office long before he became president and he used that same account to “insult” and “ridicule” another occupier of the office of the presidency some years back. That person he ridiculed was Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. Those disparaging tweets can still be found on the present occupier’s timeline, and if deleted, some screenshots can be found littering the internet space.
