DSS sues activist and politician, Omoyele Sowore over uncomplimentary remarks against President Tinubu

The Federal Government, at the instance of the Department of State Services, DSS, has filed criminal charges against activist and politician, Omoyele Sowore, over a social media post in which he described President Tinubu in uncomplimentary remarks.

In a five count filed before the Federal High Court in Abuja, the Federal Government also listed X, formerly Twitter, and Meta, owners of Facebook, as co-defendants alongside Sowore.

The Federal Government said Sowore’s post, made on August 25 of 2025, contravened Section 24(2)(b) of the Cybercrimes Amendment Act, 2024.

The case stemmed from Sowore’s posts during Tinubu’s visit to Brazil, where the President claimed his administration had eliminated corruption.
