Sowore Arrives Court To Face DSS Farcical Defamation And Cybertalking Charge

The Federal Government is set to arraign human rights activist Omoyele Sowore on a five-count charge for allegedly posting false statements about President Bola Tinubu intended to cause a breakdown of law and order, court papers show.

Sowore was sighted at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday ahead of the arraignment.

The suit dated 16th September,2025, was lodged after Sowore allegedly refused to delete the controversial posts about the President.

The Sahara Reporters publisher was accused of using his official X handle to make the post, “This criminal @ official PBAT Actually went to Brazil to state that there is no more corruption under his regime in Nigeria. What audacity to lie shamelessly!”

The alleged offending post, said to be contrary to Section 24(2) (b) of the Cybercrimes Prohibition and Prevention Act 2024, was said to have been made on August 25 within the jurisdiction of the Federal High Court.

The charges were brought on behalf of the DSS and the Federal Government by M.B. Abubakar, Director of Public Prosecutions at the Federal Ministry of Justice, alongside four other counsel to the DSS –M.E. Ernest, U.B. Bulla, Dr. C.S. Eze, and E.G. Orubor.

Confirming the legal action in a Facebook post last week, Sowore wrote, “The State Security Service, alias @OfficialDSSNG today filed a 5-count charge at the Federal High Court in Abuja against ‘X’ (formerly Twitter Facebook, and myself. They claimed that because I called Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu a criminal, I have somehow committed a set of ‘novel’ offences they invented and spread across five counts.

“It’s hard to believe there’s anyone sensible left in these offices that should be making Nigeria work. Regardless, I will be present whenever this case is assigned for trial. #RevolutionNow.”

PUNCH Online had earlier reported that the human rights activist and African Action Congress candidate in the 2023 election vowed not to delete the controversial tweet, despite a request from the DSS to X demanding its removal.

Restating his stance, Sowore wrote, “This morning, X (formerly Twitter) 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.”

DSS as an organisation has deviated from its primary duties of intelligence gathering to becoming the legal counsel to the president. SMH.

DSS is arraigning SOWORE whilst state governments (in collaboration with the Police & Army) are negotiating with bandits.

Several parts of Nigeria have been overrun by terrorists but it is SOWORE's arraignment that is high on their priority list.

If them explain Nigeria to you and you understand, it means they didn't explain it well. angry angry

Sowore is that SUG president that refused to grow. He hates the police, and the politicians and even hate those the public admire.

So annoying
Re: DSS Arraigns Omoyele Sowore Over Anti-Tinubu Post by Sensiblerealist(m): 11:52am On Sep 30, 2025
In as much as there is freedom of speech,I think calling the president a criminal without documented evidence of conviction is steep.
Let's see how this pan out though

Sowore a man with balls of steel.

If we had a Sowore in all of the 36 States, our leaders would have sat up long before now.
