Sowore, Nnamdi Kanu Plotted To Topple Buhari — SSS

The State Security Services (SSS) has said that the publisher of SaharaReporters, Omoyele Sowore in his plot to topple the government the held series of meetings with members of a proscribed terrorist organisation, Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) with a view to mobilising strong forces to realise his agenda at changing the government,Igbere TV reports.



Igbere TV reports that the SSS also challenged the Federal High Court order, allowing it to detain Omoyele Sowore, Convener, #RevolutionNow protests, for 45 days against its request of 90 days pending investigation.

The SSS argued that its investigation so far revealed that “RevolutionNow” was allegedly a smokescreen for the actual intention of Mr Sowore and his allies “to topple the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

The DSS said it was engaged in a painstaking investigation of activities of Mr Sowore, the candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) in the last presidential election, in view of the quantum of evidence so far gathered and may return to court to seek an extension of the 45 days granted by the Abuja-based court to detain him.

The security agency made this known in a fresh document it filed at the Federal High Court on Monday in response to an application by Mr Sowore.

In the counter-affidavit deposed to by Godwin Agbadua, an official of the SSS, it was stated that Mr Sowore was arrested on reasonable suspicion of having committed a capital offence, upon his alleged involvement in terrorists’ activities.

“The respondent/applicant (Sowore) planned to violently change the government through the hashtag RevolutionNow.

“The respondent/appllcant hid under the cover of call for mass protest with the hashtag RevolutionNow to mislead unsuspecting and innocent members of the public into joining him to topple the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria

“In his plot to topple the government the respondent/applicant held series of meetings with members at a prescribed terrorist organisation, Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) with a view to mobilising strong forces to realise his agenda at changing the government

“The respondent formed an alliance with a fugitive, Nnamdi Kanu, a self-acclaimed leader of the proscribed terrorists group, Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), to launch series of attacks on Nigeria with a view to violently removing the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“After series of closed-door meetings between the duo in the United States of America, they addressed a press conference wherein they both stated their resolve to form alliance against the Nigerian government. The duo stated that they have a well-planned out strategy to realize their objective, which is toppling the government.

“The applicant/respondent is investigating the activities of the respondent /applicant as it relates to a terrorist organisation, IPOB. The facts show a conjecture between the respondent/applicant and IPOB activities.

“There is the need for the applicant/respondent to investigate such reasonable suspicion of the relationship between the respondent/applicant and IPOB.

“The respondent held series of meetings with some foreign collaborators outside Nigeria including Dubai where millions of dollars were given to him to sponsor a widespread attack on Nigeria with a view to violently removing the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and freeing Ibrahim El-Zakzaky (Sheikh).

“In furtherance to the plans to violently free El-Zakzaky from lawful custody. the respondent held several meetings with a proscribed terrorists organisation. Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) where they strategized on how to carry out attacks to force the government to free Elzakzaky.

“The respondent stated in one of his videos that Shiite members, who are members of the proscribed terrorists group, IMN were going to join forces with him in bringing down the government. The statement and the meetings of the respondent/applicant raises issue of grave suspicion of supporting a proscribed terrorists’ organisation, IMN.

“The suspicions require diligent investigation by the applicant/respondent. The planned action constitutes a threat of violence to intimidate or cause panic in members of the public as a means of affecting political conduct

“The investigation is still ongoing. Upon the completion of investigation, the case file will be forwarded to the office of the Attorney General of the Federation for advice and possible prosecution,” SSS alleged.

As for me n my ipob family we are already meeting up wt our own part of the revolution....

Is really obvious

Interesting

the whole country is in jeopardy if this is the intelligence the SSS can come up with.its absolutely false

..No sane government will allow the nonsense Sowore and cownu were trying to do..if that happens in America, the won't waste their time arresting the person, they will use the CIA to technically and secretly assassinate that person..So anybody that misbehaves in Nigeria should be dealt with..simple.

This is what you can hear from Nigerian SSS other security outfits

SSS has left professionalism to become political lap dogs, what a shame

Do people topple government with bare hands?

hammerVJ:
AND SO WAT?



IF BUAHRI DONT LEAVE ASO ROCK, HE WILL BE CARRIED OUT OF ASO ROCK IN BODY BAG.

..

God dey look una like cinema

Fraudulent administration of rogues and liars

You people should shut the Bleep up and release that guy, useless country it pains me because I can’t do anything if not...

FG is jittery of two small boys. Imagine the effect we would have if upto 2million Nigerians protest and give the government a run for their jobs just like Hong Kong.

Funny.

Hahahahahahahahaha

This has to be the craziest shithole on earth, ever!

Politicians, comedy. Citizens, mumu. Police, funny. Army, jokers. DSS, clowns!

E pain the DSS clowns that Biafra is waxing stronger!

they just want to make sure they put the final nail on sowores coffin just to teach others lesson

We don't even know who and what to believe again. It's a weird situation in the whole nation.

Una no dey shame?

That took the SSS a while. Damn over-telegraphed state level sophism.

For the fact that Sowore held meetings with the leader of a proscribed terrorist group is enough reason to convict him of a treasonable felony. IPOB are terrorists and anyone hobnobbing with them are terrorists too

[/quote]

That's an excuse to keep Sowore in DSS custody for a very long time.

nwaimoroseyaho:
Do people topple government with bare hands?

All because of Buhari, the once respected SSS have become a joke today.
