fergie001:Dss people are basically causing a Streisand effect here. I wasn't even aware of the tweet until this news. And they are basically bringing global attention to it by petitioning Twitter, the mark of an incompetent government that can't take a few harsh words from it's citizens. |

Cholison:Because there is no crime here. What are they going to charge him with in court that a reasonable Judge will rule on? He hurt Tinubu’s feelings? This is just an attempt at authoritarian censorship, plain and simple. |

JUST IN: X declines DSS request to delete Sowore’s post on Tinubu Activist and publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore, has revealed that social media platform X (formerly Twitter) has declined a request by the Department of State Services (DSS) to delete one of his posts criticising President Bola Tinubu. In a post on Sunday, Sowore said X officially notified him of the request from the DSS. His words: “This morning, X officially contacted me about the despicable threat letter they received from the lawless DSS over my tweet on Tinubu. One option I will not be taking is deleting that tweet. Thank you, X.” The notice from X, which Sowore shared, confirmed that the DSS had asked the platform to take action on his account, @YeleSowore, over a post said to contravene Nigerian law. X said it had not taken any action on the reported content and emphasised its policy of informing users when such legal requests are made. “As X strongly believes in defending and respecting the voice of our users, it is our policy to notify our users if we receive a legal request from an authorised entity (such as law enforcement or a government agency) to remove content from their account,” the platform stated. Sowore has repeatedly accused the Tinubu administration of targeting him with harassment, arrests, and trumped-up charges. |

SarkinYarki:Migrate to Russia or North Korea and abuse the President publicly, then you’d know what freedom of speech really means. A lot of you don’t have sense, your hate for someone has cloaked your mind and brain, that’s why you all find it hard to reason properly. |

Watianoengineer:You must be a joker.We are no longer in Abacha Era where people had to flee the country (Tinubu inclusive) for condemning and expressing their minds at any Govt or presidential statement.Trump and Kier Stairmer are regularly abused abroad and what makes President Tinubu special? If Tinubu is not ready to be questioned then he should resign. DSS should concentrate their effort in fishing out Boko Haram and Bandits. Some of us suffered as University students in the 90s to fight for this Democracy and we will resist every form of Dictatorship whether Civilian or Military. SOWORE is not a baby in fighting against oppression and injustices .All forms of oppression must stop.I speak as a non detribalised Yorubaman and a Nigerian. |

That little money they are paying you has made you loose history and decorum. The most insulted president was Jonathan and it was your Tinubu that initiated it just for selfish political ambition. He forgets that "what comes around goes around". To DSS, they being paid with our common resources and Tax money;a lot of injustice going on but you wouldn't see them, but any attempt to construct actively criticise the government in power; they will start having erection. Let's build an egalitarian society where justice is served to all. Watianoengineer: |
